<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/45294/wreck.jpg"></center><p>Yep. I got side swiped buy the guy driving straight in the Suicide lane. I was merging into the turning lane and he was going straight in the turning lane trying to pass me.

Towed the car straight to the body shop.

I'm pretty sure the bumper is trashed, but we'll see what the body guy says tomorrow. Definately need a new fender/wheel/tires, and unknown damage to the suspension / steering.

I'm pretty sure it tore up the CV boot too... I see grease on the wheel.

Ouch, wheel is done. If anything good comes out of this, it might be an RS4 bumper =)
