Default So which front end parts take the longest to get? Crashed my TT this morning. :(

Starbucks lid came off wrestling it from the cupholders, scalding hot coffee all over my pants. Looked up red Caddy in view, both feet in, CRASH!

My TT needs a new front end. Can't tell what the suspension looks like but the wheels are straight. Front end is mush. New headlights, front end cover, bumper, grills, radiator, compressor, battery etc, etc.

The body shop has it. First look this afternoon.

What is up with me not being heartbroken? I feel fine, the Caddy has one small puncture in the bumper cover. Perhaps it is the fact that I didn't feel much, the front end absorbed it all. I've been in one or two rear enders before and damned if this one didn't feel like someone put pillows between me and that car.

I am sure the car is repairable, not a total. Everything doors back is fine. The towing guy was excellent.

I'll keep you posted. I have pics on tradifilm, might scan some later.

Also saw 'Shmallow TT's at the dealer.

Major bummer Ivan. Glad you came out unscathed... except for the coffee burn of course.

Damn, Ivan! That's awful but great you're fine. Sounds like a pricey repair. : (

OK, I'm locking myself in the house and not driving for a few days. They come in threes.
