My boy's CX (56k careful)
A little over two weeks ago my boy was turning at a busy intersection and got caught by the light. He was given a chance by the oncoming traffic to turn, but a yellow NYC cab clipped him in the front passenger side. Take a look at the damage below. He was alright with just minor bruises. There's a rebuild in thw works for the hatchy.
Good to hear your friend escaped w/ only bruises.

Re: My boy's CX (big jul)
I not sure if it'd be worth fixing man. The damage looks really severe. Car might not be worth the hassle. Plus its only a stock motor. But its up to the owner though. the car might have sentimental value. hehe

Re: (ZEAL-SPORTS)
are you sure thats actually rebuildable? it looks pretty messed up.
for the money you are going to put in to fix it, you are better off getting a new hatch.

Re: (blackhatchy)
ya it really doesn't look worth it, i mean the frame is bent and all, thats pretty bad damage, i would just get another hatch and keep that one as parts. what sort of insurance does it have?

Don't rebuild that, just go buy another CX. They're a dime a dozen . . .

Yeah that windshield crackage is from the airbag. He was alone.
About the rebuild, yeah I told him to scrap it and get another car. I don't even think that it'll ever drive the same again. Even if it's fixed up.
His engine is/was a d15 something. I forget.
