well, despite my better judgement, i decided to do a new mod to my car, despite the fact i think its a POS, but since it cost me nothing, i did it anyways. The good: it improves airflow to the engine, and lets it breath better
the bad: well, it involved heavy body mods





yeah so basically, there was traffic, stop and go, well they stopped, i decided not to for half a second and it was too late before i decided i should
so, anyways, i know just about anything is fixable/salvageable, but is it even worth it?
the radiator support is pretty fubared, as is half of the side behind the fender
i would have to get a new
hood
fender
radiator
headlight and corner light
battery
and various other bits and pieces, as well as getting all that metal pulled out or replaced
im thinking its definitely not worth it, but my dad seems to think so
opinions?

Yeah that's totaled, and not really worth fixing. You could probably pick up another base model cav for less than what it would cost you to fix yours. Good luck to you tho.

Wow, sucks to see more and more getting wrecked up.

Basically insurance wise, or in their eyes that car is totalled. With that much structural damage, such as the core support, and in front of the strut tower you're looking at a lot of time and money to pull that straight and weld in a new core support, not to mention what I might not be seeing.....................

Sorry to see bro.

Maybe you will pay better attention to traffic or not follow so close from now on.

sorry i forgot to add the disclaimer that i didnt need to be told what i should have done or what i should do from now on

i just wish i had waited to get rid of it that way haha

Wow. That sucks. I'm assuming since you have it home that your car wasn't covered by insurance. If it was, they will definitely total it. If not, the two things I would suggest is that if you decide to fix it, get the front clipt from a salvage yard. It will be far easier, and most likely come out better, to replace the front clip rather than try to straighten yours.

If you decide to junk it, just strip and sell everything you can off of it, and scrap the shell. Looks like you would have a lot that you could sell.

stop and go traffic and that much damage happened?

I have my money on a pickup or suv is what he rearended

salvage it!

it's not that big of a deal to fix it, if you know where to get parts at and know somebody with a frame machine i could get everything for probably $1,000 at the most and thats including paint

Thought the same thing..

yeah, this is why the cavs are rated so poorly on offset crashes
rear-ended a ridgeline, by the time i hit it, i was going about 15 mph max
we would go to about 30-35, slow down considerably, go up to about 30-35 again, slow down, etc.
slammed on brakes, bumper went under his, and thats all she wrote
