its been a wile

it been a wile since i crashed into a tree months ago...(last year November i think) anyway!!! me and my friend took a look under the car today and the suspension is fine nothing is bent or broken or needs to be replace thank fully so all it needs is body work and alignment. here is what it looks like.







so anyway what do you guys think? is it worth saving it? or should i buy another 7 and start over?

You crashed your car because you broke up with your girlfriend right?

Well anyways, I say you fix it, and learn to appreciate it. Don't let incidents like this put you into another tree!
