What the hell kind of rick was it?

 

Im sure it was a smaller rick than that

 

+1. The chance of a rock destroying a motor are one in a million. This is definitely an insurance claim.

 

Your insurance shouldn't go up, you're not at fault. In '05, I got cut off and had $13,000 worth of damage done to my Z. My insurance hasn't gone up a penny. A couple years ago, my mother got in to a car accident and was at fault. Her insurance went up for a couple months and the total difference was about the cost of the repair. With all of the people abusing insurance claims, you shouldn't have to suffer.

 

Ouch.. A ****ing focus? damn bro.... that hurts like 50 bee stings to the *****..... Damn.. Almost as bad as when I had to drive a ****ing geo metro..

 

Had to be kryptonite. Don't be quick to file an insurance claim until you figure the long term damage to your payments based on age, previous claims, etc.

 

Read # 15 reply, if it is cracked in the upper ( Not lower ) oil pan area, it is a quick fix that DOESNT require drastic measures if u decide to repair it.

 

This is God's way of telling you it is now time to pursue FI...

 

Haha boulder FTL.

 

It looks like just the oil pan. I did the same thing on my old car, hit a damn curb....

 

man it's gay uncontrollable **** like this that hurts the most...good luck man...we've all been victims of random crap...insurance ftw

 

Yes.. I may be "lucky" and it may only be a cracked upper oil pan.. I hope that's all it is. I'm concerned that the shock from the impact may have damaged the engine, although maybe not enough to make it not run. It's this "in between", subtle damage that concerns me. I hope to have more info tomorrow after the mechanic looks closer at it.

 

A new stock motor from Performance is $5,938.36 and I think theres a fully built motor in classifieds for $10,000. Good luck dude

 

Believe it or not, your Auto insurance will cover that under collision.Get an accident report from the police.

 

Ok.. I got the car back today, it was just the upper and lower oil pan, and the swaybar that were destroyed. Replaced those, plus gaskets, and it's up and running again! I'm running on the stock swaybar until the replacement hotchkis comes in.

 

Figured Glad to hear it

 

good used whole engine 2k or less, 2k or less to install

 

Wow, I just saw it a few days ago =(. Sorry to hear man.

 

It looks like the big sway has something to do with it
