    The car is in South Carolina. I have been in New York for quit some time now. Haven't had any time to mess around with it. I am just trying to get some opinions here. What are the chances of the frame not being bent? Any?100_0294.JPG

    Ouch.

    Too hard to say. Start taking it apart and see how much damage is done the rad support and so on.

    I have been itching to get down there and see, but I am stuck in New York for another 36 days. I am hoping not.

    My guess is there is nothing forward of the back seats that isn't bent. What speed? Check between the upper-outside corners of the windshield and the doors. Look for paint stress.

    Oh man that sucks! If you need some parts. I have some extras and several yards around here. Do you pass Christiansburg/Montgomery County (I-81 exit 109) on the way back to SC? May be able to help.

    power steering went out while on a dirt road. Thick dirt, semi-sharp turn, no power steering, and the dirt just sucked me right off the road.

    I was going about 30-35 when I crashed, but it was the corner of a Malibu, not a tree (surprising, cuz of leaves).






    $1100 later its all good, frame wasn't bent, but the "bumper reinforcement" was a little bent.
