GF crashed the 'balt, with pics

Freezing rain, into guardrail. I'm 2500 KMs away and all I've got are these pictures. She is fine, the car looks like it will need some repairs. ZZP Intercooler looks pooched, new hood, right headlight, front facia, rear bumper scuffed...

I've put my heart and soul into her, just hoping nothing like the rad or unibody is fucked...how does she look to you all?

I'd say it shouldn't be too bad to fix.

You can bet it is. By comparison to these pics I had just a scratch on my 2.4... okay, it was a new door, repairs to the skirt, and paint... but it came to $3,500. So yeah. Things aren't looking good here.

A good rule of thumb is to never let the girlfriend or wife drive the car........sorry you had to learn the hard way....

Quote is $2800, all in. Well, except ZZP intercooler...which is bent but unbroken, little toughie!

I'm ordering the full ZZP 3" exhaust with header, dual pass, and HP Tuners to complete this little episode.

Towing was $457...utterly criminal, $250 just to pick up from accident scene...bunch of little hitlers.

Going to have my mechanic add the new parts while he fixes the old girl up...saves me having to do it when I get back into town. So around ~$6k all in.

I do love my Cobalt.
