Really Sad News
On my way home the night before I drifted off the road (tired) and whacked a street sign. Here is the extent of the damange:
1) Missing mirror, 60
2) Front Passenger Door, 300
3) Rear Passenger Door, 400
5) Trailing Arm, 500
The part that concerns me the trailing arm holding the passenger side rear wheel is twisted causing the rear wheel to cant inwards about 5 to 10 degrees. The Tire is rubbing into the suspension cover. It's was hell to drive home and really squirrely.
Of course pictures are worth a lot:
So here is several game plans and I am asking for advice:
1) I needed to repaint the car and I was going to do some mod work and pay for this out of pocket:
a) replace both doors and trailing arm.
b) Put on new skirts
c) repaint
2) Call insurance, junk the car and buy a new/used car
3) Call Insurance, and try and get it fixed.
The hood was damaged from a deer I was in the process of getting that fixed. It has 147K miles and needed new tires.
Any suggestions?
