Seth, I'm glad everyone was alright and no real injuries happened. It looks like it may have been a pick up or something that sat higher than his car? Are you going to fix it again or cut ties and find another?

It was a Jeep Wrangler that he hit. Very little damage to the Jeep compared to Christian's car.Looked like mostly the bumper and maybe pushed in a bit but I didn't look too close, I could not believe the difference in damage between the two. We will more than likely cut the cord, we will see what insurance does but I'm sure it's more than totaled. It kinda sucks, he just put new tires on it too. He loves the Dodge Chargers, but it's hard for him to understand how bad rear wheel drive car sucks in the winter, Hopefully we can find an AWD one within reason.
Glad everyone is okay! Cars we can fix - people not as easy. Your byline is very apropos in this situation, Seth. Our happiness can not come from thing on this earth rather fixing our eyes on Him.

Dang it. I’m sorry to see this adventure end this way. But I’m glad everyone walked away. Maybe all that damage is due to the crush zone designed into the car, which helps save the passengers.
Yes, cars fold like accordions and it's for a good reason even though it may not look like it. We looked at it yesterday at the body shop ( tower ) and it looks like it went under the Jeep. The frame rails on the Avenger were hardly damaged.Quote:

Nobody's perfect; we all make mistakes.
Hopefully he'll learn from it.
Very pleased to note that no-one was hurt; except in the wallet and pride.
We got a replacement already! Christian pretty well had his mind made up he wanted a a white 300 with a Hemi ( dad wanted an AWD vs RWD to keep him safer and on the road in the winter ) and he would really like a sunroof. We started hunting a bit but nothing was the this is it moment so I called my car dealer buddy and asked him if he had anything coming in. He said not but his hired man has a white 300 that he might sell because he just bought a 300 SRT with the 6.1. He asked him about it and got back to me, it was a fully loaded ( literally everything but the tommy gun ) 2013 300s AWD with a Hemi and 125k and he would sell it because he didn't need two cars. We struck a deal at $7750 and Christian is beyond happy even though the pic doesn't look it :)
He's got that "Dad... Put the camera DOWN" look in his eyes... LOL 8-)
Very nice buy! That's a nice donor for a hot rod! :LOL:
