My school teacher wife had wrapped up her typical 10 hour day and was driving home after dark. Some drunk skank in an Explorer crossed the median and hit the right front of our car. Looking at it, the hood is toast, the fender, lights, bumper facia radiator support, etc. No damage to frame, suspension, engine, cooling.
My brother is an expert body guy with 35 years experience. I'm not worried about the nuts and bolts. Or color matching either, that's why we buy white cars. However, the wiring harness is shredded. And the driver's side bi-xenon, un-hit, was freaking out moving up and down. That kind of thing makes me nervous. Doesn't headlight aiming take a Vadis hookup? I know that you can fine tune them with the little screws, which I have done. Anyone with collision repair experience on these techy cars?
The XC did more damage to the Explorer than vice-versa. And my wife is fine, other than being upset about our perfect (except for a pin-point door ding) getting muffed. If she's OK, I am OK. On the other hand, I hope drunk gal gets abused in jail tonight.
