the aem was crused by the radiator support, you can see where it use to come out though.



the drivers side strut tower, its definally bent upwards. and thats battery acid everywhere, it exploded when i hit the van.

sorry java, can you make those two thumb nails two.

guess ill ttyl, probally wont come here anymore, its too depressing

Edited: In photobucket if you check the mark next to the image, then go towards the bottom of the page there is a button that says "Generate HTML". I think the third block down is the thumbnail code for forums.

shame about the car,, looked like a nice elantra too... but at least you are ok. Personally, going by the age of the car, how badly hyundai's depreciate in value, and the damage.. it's a goner. Sorry.

Good news is.. there are a ton of Elantra's on eBay.. some the newer style if you are into that.. there are also a LOT of tibs

Just do not be a stranger, ok?

sounds like a good plan to me... you going to get a sedan or a wagan? Personally, I think the wagan looks better.

Sorry about your car, maybe you'll get lucky and the insurance will total it. The only bad thing is your insurance will most definately go up. As for choosing a new car, I like the new Elantras myself. Good luck with your decision.

That's a good way to look at it. Just remember that you have your health and you were not seriously injured...it could've been worse.
