    My girlfriend was taking my WRX to work today because she was afraid the roads were icy. then at 5:45am i get a call from her saying a plow truck hit the car in front of her she avoided hitting that car and ended up doinga 360 on the middle of 52 North going 55MPH... Considering all the factors she is lucky to be alive she really had her head on strait cause there is very minimal damage to my car... F*&k you plow truck, the guy apparently took off like a bat out of hell and no one got his license plate. UGH hit and run claims are no fun.

    Only damage i can see is the passenger headlight is broke, bumper, and the driver fender. Car drove fine and the suspension all looks good

    lol, I don't care. We'll just throw it on a balancer. If it still holds air and can still be balanced then no big deal. I only put 300 miles on them last year.

    Overall damage looks minimal... well a lot less than it could have been!

    I say just fix the headlight and worry about the fenders/bumper in the Spring. Keep the current fenders/bumper as a winter set and pick up wider fenders/bumper as your warm weather setup.

    Only problem with that is that the fender is almost rubbing on the wheel so if i hit a big enough bump it will most likely rub... Why dont you come take a peek after work today if you could...

    If you need it, I'm pretty sure I have a passenger-side headlight that you can have (It's painted black.)

    Sweet, it's yours. Do you want me to ship it to you or try to arrange some time when I could deliver?
