Ouch. That sucks man. Is it just bodywork, or is there other damage?
porsche944
There's belts slipping all over the place and it idles unevenly although no one qualified has looked at it yet. The whole front driver side has been pushed back a couple inches so the wheel well is digging into the tire. Hopefully mostly cosmetic... we'll see
porsche944
Pretty much came over a crest in a 45mph zone to see the car in front of me slamming on the brakes to avoid rearending the guy turning left into the driveway in front of him. Wet roads and downhill. My brakes lock, I pump them, they lock again, I pump them again, lock again. I am not slowing down very much. Traffic is coming the other way hence the guy waiting to turn left, the guy im about to hit is to the far right not quite able to squeeze around the guy in front of him so i have no where to go but straight into his bumper. I'm devastated. I drive that car when I need to calm my nerves and well, the catch 22 there kind of explains itself. Im driving my dads ram 1500 which is about the farthest from my daily driver comfort zone, not to mention im being overly cautious and on edge while driving now. I dont need the car to look good again, I just need it to drive again. Im very short on money... and I DO know a guy who can help me out cheap...hopefully. I'm just crossing my fingers. That car and I have way too intimate a relationship, like I said... devastated.

benny- on an unrelated note I did whallop the shit out of the 2nd coyote or any animal ive ever hit for that matter like a month ago, No damage tho... to the car at least

(i wasnt under the influence of any substance, and i haven't had that job in years, I hope you drive your automatic r32 into a fucking tree)

God, I fucking /hate that feeling/ when you lock up your brakes and whatever you do-- pumping, feathering, progressive --with the pedal the car just does not want to stop. Of course, I was in a 2090lb Paseo and not a 944 which makes being out of control, I think, a bit more nervy when you know the car has nothing in the ways of safety, and is tiny, and weighs nothing.

Another day on the way to work the brakes actually just died on a downhill. I was extremely lucky there wasn't anyone in front of me or any THING, too. The brakes just sank to the floor as all the fluid somehow disappeared.
Altostratus
well....hit a deer on the right angle and it might sort all that out.

Dude that just really sucks. I hate it when something happens to your car that's really beyond your control.
d.tek
i crashed my old GTI and it was the worst experience ever and now i don't have it. But now i have a new one that i like better, so even if it was beyond repair, it helps knowing that it does get easier and you can eventually move on.

good luck with it man, doesn't look to be too bad.

hey at least you did not hit a parked truck like I. Good luck getting it fixed, you got a great car otherwise.

^Agreed, I think your car is my favorite on DS.

Thanks guys, I feel the same way, haha.

So the car is back on the road. I brought it to a friend who works out of his home. He pulled as much of the body back out that he reasonably could, semi-permanently raised the headlights because they wouldnt clear the bent fender. All my coolent had leaked out when a hose got pressed against a pulley. He replaced the hose and refilled the coolant. Parts and labor only cost me a cool $100, which is about all I could afford right now anyways, heh. The frame iis bent up by the front driver wheel although he said its not really enough to require that its fixed, which im ok with. It's going to sit like this for a while, but short of some occasional belt slippage at start up, it still feels exactly the same to drive so I'm happy enough. Best of a bad situation.
