Southern Snow claims a teener. Crap!, but its fixable! Options

I measured from the inner corner of the headlight box to the where the cowl meets the fender and it is pushed in about a half an inch compared to a straight car un-hit car. I still want to see how much the a-arm mount moved if it did.

Damage from snowfall doesn't surprise me after having lived in Raleigh for a number of years.

Snow fall removal is nonexistant in NC. It snows, take the dayS (plural) off. Drive on the road at a speed that is safe for conditions, and somebody will repeatedly lunge at yer ass because they feel you are driving too slow.

After they pass you, I guarantee they are in the ditch a half a mile down the road.

My favorite was this turn into work- kinda banked like the monza wall. Saw a number of people go into the turn a little too slow, and they dropped like a stone into the turn and into the inner ditch... Oh yeah, there was that one guy who hit the gas and launched himself off the top of the wall and into oncoming traffic going the other way....

Had a lot of damage to one of my cars when somebody decided they didn't need a snowbrush to clean off their rear window or mirrors. They lunged (from the left lane) to the right lane, knocked me off the road, and kept on going
My lesson? I only drive disposable cars in NC in snowy weather.

Best of luck. That's not going to be cheap to fix.

Yeah I can't stand other driver's when it snows here . Typically I am perfectly fine and enjoy driving in the snow. I even went to school in Michigan for a while and drove fine on the roads. My DD is 4wd and I've never had trouble or even an accident but Friday was just a screwed up night for me. It's just one of those of those times you shake your head and wish never happened.

Been there, done that.

Been hit by deviant drivers a number of times. Each time, I realize that leaving 10 seconds earlier or later would have moved me out of the "target" zone.
