Another wrecked lude

Well just after I finally got my lude back on the road, it's down and out for the count. The other weekend I was on the highway, driving home from school. It was snowing but I wasn't having a problem (gotta love brand new snow tires and LSD) so when I came up to a line of traffic crawling along at 45mph I got into the left lane to pass. So there I am in the left lane, still going under the speed limit because the person in front of me like 6 car lengths is going around 55mph. There was a plow truck in front of them which then decided to move over into the right lane, the problem was when it did so it kept plowing snow into the left lane. Me and the person in front of me lost visibility almost instantly, I started slowing down but I wasn't going to slam on the breaks on the highway because that's how you get rear ended..... As it turns out the lady in front of me panicked and that's exactly what she did. When I saw the break lights appear 15 feet in front of me I knew it was too late.

The results:








I'm going to start parting it out eventually (unless someone's interested in the whole car.) but it's currently in the drive way at home while I'm up at school.

I'm pretty sure it's totalled and it's not worth to fix. for the price of fixing it he can buy 3 similar 5th gens.

It's ALWAYS fixable!
Sorry man... I've lost a couple myself. It's always right after you just put a new set of $1000 tires on, or right after it got a new $4000 paint job!
Sucks.

I'll PM you.
