So, I was sitting at the redlight waiting for it to change on a major highway and all of a sudden I hear the brakes lock up behind me and BOOM! Its 6000+ in damage and the lady who hit had been drinking
but was barely under the legal limit...

Yeah, my back still hurts and hit happened on the 27th....... I went to the doctors and everything but it still hurts so i might go back. Yeah, I'm really worried that the car wont be the same but the frame didnt bend.... So, I'm hopeful

Sorry to hear that...
It sounds almost identical to what happened to me.. except it was undercarriage damage and it wasn't in my "8" (Mazda Millenia at the time).. As for your pain, those are your muscles tensing up... the docs will continue to give you pain killers and muscle relaxers to disguise the pain... I recommend a chiropractor...that's the true fix! The chiropractor can also determine if you have permanent damage...it's been 7 years and I still have muscle flair ups that cause me headaches! The insurance should cover that, take advantage!
Good luck on the speed recovery of both yourself and the "8"!

Hopefully things came out ok with the docs. Hate to tell you this though...but your frame is bent. Even with a dark image like you have...there is more than likely frame behind your fender that will be replaced. You should be happy that it will end up on the frame table though...sometimes they come out better than they were originally. Good luck with everything and glad that you're ok.
