Thumbs down They hit my X.....stupid kids.

Wish parents would stop letting their high school age kids with no drivers License drive there cars!!!this is what happens!, and I just got her detailed and was getting to wax her up!!!! Now I am stuck driving a buick Lucern,,,still and old person car.
<---------------------$10,000 worth of repairs!!!!!


If you can't tell from the pic, drivers side wheel is turned and passanger side is strait, but drivers side got pushed back into the innerfender, so not sure about what was damaged..what do you think would be broken or bent??

If you have one wheel straight and the other turned,I am afraid you will have some expensive damage there!You really need to get the car in the air and check it properly.
Sorry for whats happenned to your X.Stupid kids and irresponsible parents,it seems.

Pretty sure the car won't drive with the front wheels facing in opposite directions...

How about a body shop estimate instead
of relying on guess work. Let your insurance
company talk the the parents.

Hopefully the cops came and documented it. Should be an easy "grab your ankles" at the parents' umbrella policy.

Yea I had my girl call the cops as soon as they hit us..Turns out the kids didn't have a license but it was covered under there parents insurance thankfully. So it's in the shop and hopefully will be out the 8th, off subject, what do you think of painting the grill and vents on the hood to match the color of the bumper mesh???
