Then and Now
On December 16th, my dad's 2004 TL (no NAV) was parked on the street and got hammered by some idiot in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Thankfully, she was decent enough to stop, ask for witnesses, and leave her information. Now, just under two months of body shop work paid off and this is the result. WARNING...THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS ARE NOT FOR THE WEAK. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Man, that TL was f-ing mangled! How fast was that driver going when she hit it? I'm guessing there was a fair amount of damage to her car, which had to be part of her reasoning to stop and get/leave contact information.

And her car got pretty messed up, too. I believe her airbag went off.

Holy smokes. That thing was messed up. $20k - my gosh, that's even more incredible than the accident. Did it mess up anything frame/control wise, like suspension or something. New muffler(s)? or just a new end pipe and chrome tip? Crazy.

Reply to Sidenote:
I have neither...the RL is my dad's and was the replacement for the TL. It (the TL) is for sale if anybody's interested. I believe he's asking $20,000; it has 32,900 miles and has been meticulously maintained. No Navigation, though.
