So she's at the shop getting a look over and we found that there is frame damage...
Apparently the contact was so much that it pushed the drivers side frame about a 3/4 of an inch upwards. So now there is a larger gap in the wheel well on the DS and the hood was pushed back closer to the windshield. Now when you use the wipers the hood moves from contact with the wiper arm...
You can imagine I am not too happy right now... Unless of course they write me a check for 10-13K and I can buy another 7.

Man that blows the god news is if it does by chance have to be totaled the low end of your cars value would be 11,600 and higher end 14,000 which is what most corporate insurance companies go off of.
, i hope everything works out for you.
If i where you I would turn your girl around and bend her frame,that way both your bitches would the f*cked.
just kidding,thats sucks man its not the same once the car has been hit...i had an 1989 turbo II with 68k miles on it,it was mint and although it was fixed and looked like nothing ever happened after a rear end accident i had to sell the damn car.i just couldn't stand the fact that it was hit...

Oh man that's the worst news anyone could ever here. "frame damage"
it's like taking your girl to the hospital for a cold and finding out it's terminal. let us know how everything goes!
maybe they'll write you a fat check and you can buy your car back on the cheap.

damn i wonder what you were thinking usally you let her drive the daily driver once she masters stick on the daily then you give her a crack on the rex its too much power jumping from regular 180 hp to like 300 hp alot of people don't know how to shift the FD's smooth. good look with the spec 99 hope it turns out nice.
make your gf give you head for a month - pov is the shiet right now .. put the video on the web and make some $$$ to fix up your seven, then dump her ***. Make sure to get her appologizing for wrecking your seven as she bobs your ***!!! 
- you could hit a "best of" series! 
Though there is "some" frame damage, I doubt that it's really that bad.. seems kinda minor so the results of the repair should be good if not great, like new again.

They look like they belong on a car from the 1980s.

This just in... Total Damage to the car $2,300.(change)... So she'll be back by next week. Back on the road and definitely going to get an overhaul to make sure things are the way the need to be.
And this is why I like the wheels that are on it. To each his own.

Good news. She's alive and well. I have to get her from the shop in the morning. Then its back down to my crew in Orlando do have her looked over. So good news good news.
sucks about the frame damage, use a hammer
sand paper + paint the bumper
use solder iron to melt the lip back together
scuffs give car character
if you want insurance money that bad, spend it on 99spec bumper and lip
girls that drive stick are sexy even when they crash
