Mines bedlined foo! Dont got a hatch neither.. op that sucks bit dude same type of crash when mine happened. Smashed the hell out of the other car not a scratch on mine and i didnt have my hitch on lol. I didnt call insurance tho and he was uninsured so meh. Hopefully they dont total it its fine. If so buy it back and that civic looks like a 96-00 hatch that things a goner

I already knew this prior to my statement

this thread has a lot of lol in it. You can buff out that tailer hitch. That civic may need a 2 stage buffing

 

[07Burb]

get it to Torreto and the boys and they'll fix it right with parts overnighted from Japan

Frame should be able to be straightened, the hitch probably just kinked it. If its worse than that however, state farm will not replace a frame (even on a new vehicle). If a frame cant be straightened according to them, they will total it.

If it does total, definitely buy it back. Its a very easy fix for about 3-4 hours of frame time (most likely). As long as the quarters aren't buckled, it should pull right out pretty easily. Those frames aren't that strong.

You stopped in a traffic lane to save a bird? WTF were you thinking? so you had your hazards on. sure it's still the kids fault, but was it worth it? hind sight says no. more than likely with a bent frame you will have a total on your hands. if it was a dog, or some other bigger animal, sure go ahead and stop....a bird? really?
don't mean to flame on, sure you were trying to help, but........

This. OP was asking to get rear ended by someone.

I'm really surprised that the OP didn't get sited and held responsible for the accident.
