What did you and your MKV do today?

That wasn't too bad really, it could have a been a lot worse. Especially if police and insurance are involved, they're an absolute nightmare in the UK don't know what they're like where you are.

Cleaned up well and impressed with the amount of rubber put onto your car.
I would get the tracking checked, as it would most probably have been knocked a little

Good idea to get the tracking checked.

Well it was a big-ass Volvo SUV. Those tires are huge :signLOL:
She said she didn't feel a thing and I saw my whole car move.
No clue how police and insurance goes here, never had a crash or had to deal with them. Only got pulled over once since I've got my license 5 years ago and that was for driving with my parking lights on rather than my low beams.
By tracking do you mean alignment?
This car needed an alignment since I got it cause it's slightly pulling to the right and also my steering wheels is turned to the left. I was planning on replacing the suspension with Bilstein B4's and Eibach Pro-Kit so I've been putting it off till that's done. Honestly the car doesnt vibrate or shake at any speed up to 260. Thats the max I've gone with cause at that point I was basically sliding left-right on the highway. I really need them shocks cause 20 year old shocks just aint it anymore. My old car with perfect alignment shakes quite a bit at highway speeds so I figured I'll just leave this be.

tracking = alignment :happy2:

Following up on the previous post, put the car back together. Ended up not painting the bumper. I'd rather do it when it's hot outside. Melted some plastic to fill the cracks and glue the ruptured parts together.
Replaced the bent fender support. Fortunately the headlight was untouched.
While at it, also replaced both bumper supports cause the old ones were cheap knockoffs and the bumper was always sagging. Safe to say the difference is night and day. The bumper lines are close to perfect now.
This past week was terrible. I had to drive the 1.4 NA mk4 backup car. I just couldn't take it anymore. I was supposed to work today but decided to take a day off to sort out the car and go for a drive. Now I feel much better
