    Long story short, I was in the car with a few friends on a country road and then a deer ran out infront of us so it was either get rear ended or into the ditch. After we stoped everything felt fine looked alright then I was backing the car out and herd some rubbing parked it on the side of the road and then i saw this...
    (I was also being tailgated)

    Sound familiar? Coming from you, "wha wha whaaaaa" holds little to no value. Make a U turn as soon as you can, and rejoin us at adulthood.


    Op, what is actually damaged? Maybe it's not as bad as you think.

    Yeah in any case it'd have been better to get rear ended than throw yourself off the road. Anyone can make up a story about a deer, but a busted up rear bumper and another car involved is straight proof.

    Ahh, just a control arm and you'll be good to go... Maybe...

    I can't really tell from the picture but I think you need windows and doors too... I like the blacked out rims though.

    Maybe you just bent the sh*t out of your front bumper cover? I doubt you rocked the subframe, but it's worth checking. Hm. Make sure to give your brake lines a good looking-over, too, since those are all kinds of up there.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Ok back to reality... take some pictures and post on here.

    And by the above statement, I just meant from the picture it looks like it might be a goner, but maybe not if its just that wheel. Call Insurance if you haven't already...

    Around here, more than a grand in damages, you have to call cops, by law.

    Also has to be police report.

    Else you're stuck paying for it yourself.
