so i just got my car back together(from hitting a deer)lookin really nice coming home form work tonight at 9pm some light snow coming down just enough to cover the roads....i was so happy to go have some fun with the quattro..and i was sitting at a stop sign behind a truck and see this jeep HAULING MAJOR A$$ up on me, i was like OH CRAP....and then it happened...she cornholed me..she is a 17yr old that is coming home from balet practice...here are the pics

if an insurance company sees that they will quote 8k and total your car, no doubt about it...

did u at least get to take the balet girl home w u?

man, that really sux, I would say it is time to start shopping for your new A4, hopefully the girl had insurance....

if it maked you feel any better I was sideswiped today in my mom's hybrid accord (my car is in the shop)....

well, glad to hear you are okay...if you need to make some extra money, every B5 owner on this forum needs at least one part of that car...lol

I always hate to see a members car take a hit :(

yea not sure if it will get totaled or not yet...and yes she had insurance..and no i did not take her home lol she was 17....iam disapointed but what do you do? we will see how much i will get for it.

my guess is that you will wnd up with somewhere between 5 and 7k....which sounds like a pretty decent down payment on a B5 S4...lol

I am 21 years old and if a hot 17 yo balet dancer had just molested my pride and joy and asked if there was ANY way she could repay me....lol

if your rear quarter pannels wern't bent, then it would be a straightforward fix, but in this case fixing it probably will not be the answer[>:]

the driver rear is pushed down and in, you can see it in the first and second pic. i think i might get the money and then bring it to school and put it on the frame rack and straighten it out or at least measure it all up and see if its bad or not.(iam going toschoolfor autobody)and i have thought about getting a s4.....hmmm

you better hope it's totalled. its just plain bad luck

nice!...let them total your car and buy it back for about 1k....then put the insurance money towards an S4!

then you can fix the A4 at school for practically nothing and sell the A4 to pay off the S4!

well, I hope everything works out, accidents are fu,king stressfull, i feel soo useless without a car! (though I should get mine back 2moro *fingers crossed*)

yea this car has not been good to me at all.....deer = hood, fender, windsheild, headlights... dumb teen girl= trunk,rear quarter,rear bumper and support, frame rack pull...damn

Ouch, sorry about your car. So ummm...can I have your coolant reservoir and headlight washer pump?

hey hey hey come on now,i dont know what iam doing yet.....just give me a few days lol

I like how the trunk is pushed up. Gives it some nice curves, perhaps you can fabricate a spoiler styled to those angles?

Just kidding. Someone's gotta be the comic relief, yeah? I agree with Brian; hopefully they total the car, because repairing it is going to be more stressful than shitting bricks.


On a side note: if someone in a Jeep hit your car, that kind of damage isn't so bad. How fast was she going? Audis are built tremendously tough; I had a girl rear-end me about a month ago, and all I got were some scratches that you can hardly see, and her hood was bent up, with her internals hardly working.

ICE is SLIPPERY



Water is wet ?

speaking of wrecks, my cousing actually ended up getting more for his minicooper after he drove it of a short cliff in California a few months after he bought it in New York. I went out there to drive it back with him and with gas and food and of course the car the whole trip cost about 19,500 he crashed it insurance gave him a check for over 20,000 lol! i guess the mark up from NY to CA is pretty significant! we thought about making a living buying used cars in NY drving them to CA and then crashing them.

she was prolly going about 30 35 and i was at a dead stop behind a red truck...dont remember if that truck just took off after? iam calling the insurance company at 8 lol i couldnt sleep at alllast night.

slide your hand across the c pillar. if you feel a bend somewhere they most likely will total it. and ya definitely buy it back and part it out.

Hey, if you buy it back and part it, make sure to sell those taillights as "Sweet Custom Altezza" lights! Sucks you got hit but just thank yourself for having enough sense to buy an A4 rather than a Pinto or Fiesta!;)

haha yea at least this wasnt in my geo lol....i would not be here

man that really sucks, just after you got it back too. if i were you i would deff. plan on buying the car back, when mine was totled i bought it back for $750 and the damage was all cosmetic too. that dosent look to bad, did you drive it home? if it drives straight then the car would be easy to fix if you want to. probably about 4-5hrs on a frame jig and that car would look pretty damn close to fixed. and the worst part is if you part it out the only thing i would need is your trunk and taillight.[&o]youd b amazed how hard it is to find those fast, ive been lookin for about 2 weeks.

well so far i have got one estimate and it came up to be at $3032.00. iam going to get anotherestimate right now so we will see. i guess it will not be totaled out so i got some work ahead of me then lol

LOL that actualy made me laugh outloud

now this estimate got up to $4650.00 mostly because he is replacing the rear quarter panel and the other guy was just going to straighten it out

seriously if it gets totaled put a parts list up.

I feel like I am swooping in an a car that is not deemed dead...but...I really would like the engine plastics for the air box...shipping to reno...sorry brother...everything happens for a reason.

dude that f>ckin sucks, and its such a nicely moded car, you didnt slid into the trunk infront of you did you. also im surprised your taking it so well. was teh balet girl cute.

no i didnt hit the guy in front of me... ifi would have done that i would have been F-ING PISSED OFF. oh and dont worry i told that little girl a thing or two at the top of my lungs about what the hell she was doing...then she started to cry and i was like i cant deal with you right now and went back and sat in my car.

AND I WILL NOT PART OUT MY CAR!!!! IAM GOING TO FIX IT!!!!!LOL

Since she was young, she probably never drove in the snow and thought it was fine and then BAM!

yea good thing she was driving a battering ram..or however you spell that

I hope it turns out good.

i do have big balls ....[8D]lol

but I've got the biggest ....balls of them all


sorry AC/DC tangent

That's exactly what happenned to my car too...on my way for work at 5 in the morning and got hit from the rear by a RAM.....the entire cost for fixing it up at the dealer was close to $2800.....i was a complete noob then and i had no idea what to do.....so just went with the dealer to be on the safe side.....mine is a 96 a4 quattro...

so is the other insurance company payin up?

yup...they took care of the entire amount.....:)..over that i got a rental reimbersement for like 15 days.....neva had to spend a single buck out of my pocket

yea i got the check form there insurance company. it took awhile but i got it.

got some pics. got the trunk lid to fit today. and pulled the quarter out some more. pics.....oh and only the best tools lol

was your frame not bent? a corner hit like that usually bends the frame which can be a major bear even after it looks fixed. look at space between pillar and door on both sides of car and see if it's the same. Maybe you already addressed this. If so, please ignore. Good luck with the fix. Kudos on doing it yourself!

tough luck. it will all be okay. usually insurance will hook u up if you are not at fault. sometimes you get raped

yea the rear drivers side was down 3mm form factory. you can see the little targets i got hangin on the bottom of my car that reflect the laser that i have sitting in the center of the car then it relays it back to the computer and tells me what way it needs to go... the frame wasnt to bent really i mean the most of it was on top from the jeep jumping over the rear bumper and hitting the quarter and trunk.
thanks for the luck i will need it lol

well guys class was busy as hell this past semester so all i got was it to primer. iam fine with that the painting part is easy and FUN!!!
here are some pics of it in her current condition.

let me know if you know of any good LED tail lights out there...my stockers are screwed form the crash and i HATE HATE HATE THESE!!!
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ty91sho/audiprimer013.jpgLET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK???

lookin good man!

can't wait to see it painted!

either tint the tail lights you have or get a set of stockers....

keep up the good work!

might as well do the lowers while you are at it....

oh, and I think it would look awesome if you shave the lower valences on the bumpers

shave???the lower valance?? are you just sayin paint it or acutally blend it into the bumper?? so there is no line?

i was thinkin about doin this but then when i was lookin at it. the lower valance is more of a rubbery flexiable plastic and the bumper is more solid. so it would be very hard to not get crackin even when you use the right plastic filler and plastic weld them together.

buy some 99.5-01 Tails they would look good on there

he's saying just paint the lowers valances so they match the car.

I'm with Quattro_1.8t in saying get some 99.5-01 tails and then tint them a bit


and I gotta say you do some real good work, that thing looks brand new and I can't wait to see it all finished.


got any more pics of the headlights, they look kinda cool
