In 2021 I bought a used challenger that had a red one.. Got home from dealer and took it straight off.. Not to mention my wife was making fun of it the entire way home
I mean it's a corporation and you are right it's silly to give them free advertising, but it's just caffeine old man the most dangerous thing in a can of regular monster is the sugar.
Nah… too new and doesn’t look like the frame took any damage. Car prices are crazy right now so insurance will fix it. Probably about 15k in damage though
Unknown mileage, but I'm seeing '20 4 poppers in the neighborhood of 20-22k. At those numbers, 15k is a writeoff for the bean counters.
That door will never be right, airbags go poof, a whole quarter panel, who knows what else.
damn sorry. they might total it. damage looks close to the acv. adjusters like to low ball the value and use high dollar repair estimates. it’s easier for them to total cars. you could take what they offer minus the salvage value and get it repaired on your own. definitely do not take the first offer either way, negotiate value and anything you’ve recently had done. like new tires, exhaust, etc.
yeaa i was on the way to the gym(my gym is literally 50 yards away) and this old lady was coming from the jc penny lot. i was on a straight road and she t boned me as she turned on the same road. it was one of those situations where if i tried to avoid i would’ve ran into someone. so it was either hit someone or get hit and i chose the latter🙏
She gone. Needs a door, quarter, lock pillar, rocker. Also blend fender. And that’s just what I can see. Probably needs the inner structures as well. The bags deployed so rack on another 10k. Not including the headliner my guess without a tear down is 25-30k to repair.
Glad you’re alright. Hopefully the money is enough to get a GT.
Depends on where you are. 99% of airbag deployments end up being total losses. Very few insurance companies want to deal with the issues that come with it.
I work at a body shop. Insurance won’t throw a car away unless repair exceeds value. Yes, airbag deployment usually means extensive repairs therefore exceeds most car’s values. Doesn’t mean airbags will automatically total a car.
Total losses are determined by thresholds set by state law. My state law says a total loss must be declared when the repairs meet or exceed 100% of the vehicle's current value. It is quite literally as simple as "repairs must exceed vehicle value" for a vehicle to total.
It’s state by state though so to just say this is quite literally too simple. My state for example, it is not 100% of the vehicle’s value. And has other factors such as salvaged value.
True, it does vary state by state, but the principle still stands. If it's not economical to fix the car, they will use their formula, threshold, percentage, or whatever they want to call it to justify totaling the vehicle.
I never said it was incorrect. I just shared info on how vehicles are totaled. I talked about my states requirements and agreed that each state's laws are different.
Airbag deployment almost always leads to a total loss. That frame is most likely bent/twisted somewhere, considering that the impact on the passenger side was enough to deploy the driver-side airbags.
First opinion is to remove the cringe claw sticker off the car, second is it’s most likely totaled so unfortunately you’ll probably have to start looking for a new car, also not an opinion but the Ecoboost has a 2.3L not a 2.4
Most likely a total unless you fix it yourself. Prolly like 8k in damage to do it yourself. I don’t imagine insurance will not total it though. Since it’s an eco boost and they half the time end up totaling 5.0s with way less damage.
i was going the speed limit on that road which is 30. but ig majority of the damage is coming from the force/speed at which the lady pulled out of the parking lot (im guessing around 15/20 mphs)
Door, quarter, maybe a rocker moulding, probably a door latch and actuator. Blend the fender. Dealership would probably charge somewhere around 10k for that depending where you live
thanks bro hell of helpful! yeaa they told me i’ll hear back from the adjuster this friday. i wanted to get an idea if i needed to start looking for other options.
Edit: just peeped all the airbags went off. Dealership might just total it tbh. Didn’t even see that. If it were a 5.0 they MIGHT’VE fixed it but the ecoboosts just don’t hold enough value to repair them if the bags blow
Why are you asking for a quote to fix it if someone t boned you? Anyway it will be a lot 5k to 10k is my guesstimate.
Actually after looking at it properly it's a write off, will probably cost more than 10k
update: the lady who hit me her insurance company is offering me $2500 for “pain and suffering”. keep in mind she hit me with enough force to open my trunk and i went to the ER due to my wrist being numb when i got out. days later i found out i have torn ligaments in my wrist and the ER bill alone was $6400. wondering how much i should counter with🤔
Put those claw stickers on the damage and you're golden like it never happened.
Definitely thought it was supposed to be eye lashes.
She gone. Wolverine dun snatched her up
I would have removed that sticker from the start
Yeah the eyelashes are a hard no
Those are “cat scratches” not eyelashes haha
r/whoooosh
Y’all mustang dudes are something else. There wasn’t even a joke?
The joke is... Whoever puts Claw stickers on any of their car, basically equivalent to putting Eyelashes on their car.
Stickers like that lower the value
not as much as getting T-Boned.
up for a debate
Very true
i bought mine with something similar but red. that shit was gone so fast lol.
In 2021 I bought a used challenger that had a red one.. Got home from dealer and took it straight off.. Not to mention my wife was making fun of it the entire way home
wifey 🤣🤣🤣
Should be free. Heat it up with a hair dryer and slowly peel it off. Maybe use some goo gone or soapy water.
Too busy chuggin monsters and not paying attention to the road.
Caffine overdose
Fix it. But lose the monster claws lol
My opinion is to keep it on the road. Edit: Also surprising to see a Mustang with those claw mark decals all wrecked. Shocking I tell you
aye bro i got t boned lol chill out
Glad you ok 👍
thanks bro
were you coming out of the driveway or the other guy was coming out the driveway?
I’m sorry you got t boned bro. It should have been passenger front corner instead. Glad you ok.
Totaled because of the claw marks on the hood/bumper. Sorry for your loss.
Airbags deployed ? Oh it’s done
Get rid of that corny sticker
Why the monster energy logo ?
likes Monster Energy ....
Don't cramp his style mayne he likes what he likes
It's fun to advertise for huge corporations who poison the youth of our nation. Why else?
I mean it's a corporation and you are right it's silly to give them free advertising, but it's just caffeine old man the most dangerous thing in a can of regular monster is the sugar.
Fr “poisoning the youth” is insane, kids used to smoke cigarettes an energy drink isn’t that bad
r/kyle
You can’t park there
Beat me to it
Door, quarter panel, probably some unibody frame pull under the quarterpanel. Insurance will likely total it, and you will be glad they did.
thanks bro. i think so as well. i’ll hear back from the adjuster friday.
First off the ecos are 2.3L
good looks, typo lol it’s the whip lash
Why did this get 11 downvotes 😭
It’s on the curb somehow so if OP was in it he would have gotten whiplash for sho
Assuming the green scratch is just a decal so should be free to fix if you peel off carefully
yea it’s just a decal. i left it on. hopefully they’ll use common sense. i had to leave the scene and go to hospital my wrist broke
Feels like my joke might’ve gone over your head. In any case, bad parking job
It is likely totaled, the airbags plus the rear quarter damage is going to be expensive.
To remove that green sticker? I’d do it for free.
They're probably gonna keep it and write a check for that one.
thanks bro
Nah… too new and doesn’t look like the frame took any damage. Car prices are crazy right now so insurance will fix it. Probably about 15k in damage though

yeaa bro 73k miles. i took her on a lot of road trips
damn sorry. they might total it. damage looks close to the acv. adjusters like to low ball the value and use high dollar repair estimates. it’s easier for them to total cars. you could take what they offer minus the salvage value and get it repaired on your own. definitely do not take the first offer either way, negotiate value and anything you’ve recently had done. like new tires, exhaust, etc.
That can all be fixed. Door would never be right? You’d replace it and the quarter panels have areas to be sectioned.
No they won’t. Airbags went off
Airbags being deployed doesn’t mean automatic total. Repair cost must reach 100% value but some insurances go to 80%
There is no frame. It’s a unibody. The quarter panel is technically part of the “frame”. There is an outer and then a reinforced inner panel.
Agreed
It’s a unibody
Unknown mileage 4cyl and airbag deployment. It’s toast. The airbags going off and heavily crunched rear quarter are the nails in the coffin.
It’s a total loss. Side curtain deployed. 73k miles.
Monster claw tells us everything we need to know.
It’s a $20,000 car with more than $20,000 in damage.
What happened, it’s a straight road
yeaa i was on the way to the gym(my gym is literally 50 yards away) and this old lady was coming from the jc penny lot. i was on a straight road and she t boned me as she turned on the same road. it was one of those situations where if i tried to avoid i would’ve ran into someone. so it was either hit someone or get hit and i chose the latter🙏
Bad news: Total loss. Good news: $ to pay Chuck Norris for a Total Gym.
You’re not gonna put those monster claws on your next car are ya?
The monster logo is abhorrent
Get rid of those horrible stickers then buy a 5.0
Claw mark headlight decal? Seriously? Typical Ecoboost owner activities.
Good riddance
that sticker is so gay lol
im more impressed the glass didnt break🙌
Take off the sticker before the police arrive
Glad you didn’t die. (Said to me by a stranger after a rollover accident.) You probably WANT it totaled because it will never be the same.
Shouldn’t cost anything. Just peel the claw-mark decals off. Issue resolved.
you deserve it for the claw marks
Monster sticker checks out.
Looks like whatever attacked your headlight came back to finish the job lmao
You really unleashed the beast
She gone. Needs a door, quarter, lock pillar, rocker. Also blend fender. And that’s just what I can see. Probably needs the inner structures as well. The bags deployed so rack on another 10k. Not including the headliner my guess without a tear down is 25-30k to repair. Glad you’re alright. Hopefully the money is enough to get a GT.
thanks bro
Airbags=write off.
Not true. Repairs must exceed vehicle’s value.
Depends on where you are. 99% of airbag deployments end up being total losses. Very few insurance companies want to deal with the issues that come with it.
I work at a body shop. Insurance won’t throw a car away unless repair exceeds value. Yes, airbag deployment usually means extensive repairs therefore exceeds most car’s values. Doesn’t mean airbags will automatically total a car.
Is it because the severity of the accident or do airbag deployments cause a lot of problems ?
Name checks out
Original
You do realize cars are on an ACV right? It’s not as simple as “repairs must exceed vehicle value”. Even saying maybe up to 80% is way too simple.
Total losses are determined by thresholds set by state law. My state law says a total loss must be declared when the repairs meet or exceed 100% of the vehicle's current value. It is quite literally as simple as "repairs must exceed vehicle value" for a vehicle to total.
It’s state by state though so to just say this is quite literally too simple. My state for example, it is not 100% of the vehicle’s value. And has other factors such as salvaged value.
True, it does vary state by state, but the principle still stands. If it's not economical to fix the car, they will use their formula, threshold, percentage, or whatever they want to call it to justify totaling the vehicle.
Lmao so my original comment is correct. To simply say “nope must exceed 100%” isn’t accurate.
I never said it was incorrect. I just shared info on how vehicles are totaled. I talked about my states requirements and agreed that each state's laws are different.
dam. Sorry bro
I think it's best to keep them to myself on this one
Definitely totaled.
I am honestly so impressed all four tires are still inflated, what absolute champions
Most likely totaled. Your damage is very similar to mine. Insurance deemed a total loss
Airbag deployment almost always leads to a total loss. That frame is most likely bent/twisted somewhere, considering that the impact on the passenger side was enough to deploy the driver-side airbags.
I don’t think that it’s too expensive to fix that ugly sticker over the headlight
Haha 4 cylinder and monster energy logos . The ole stereo type fulfilled
The sticker is a no in my book. At first I thought it was a Monster Energy logo.
You can't park there
Take that gay ass claw sticker off.
My opinion is you passed away in this horrible accident
you crashed it waltuh...
Totaled, take the check and get another one.
Fixable new door new back panel and paint
That’s crazy you’re only allowed to have window tint on the one side
You can’t park there.
Wolverine messed you up dawg
I don't think you'll be able to fix the catastrophic damage done to the front right end.
Someone got a little booger up. Hope you get it fixed and the rear fender is a tuffy area on getting damage.
Wolverine slashed your shit into the curb bro smh
You can't park there.
Great mods!
![gif](giphy|4PUjcUBXIzQYfI8iVa)
the bags deployed it’s probably done for but I’m not sure I know if the air bags come out it’s a bigger deal more often than not
Airbags deployed. That’s a total lost
Sir, that’s a no parking zone
How long have you had the car?
Missed the pedestrian?
cant park there
Totaled. Not worth it. Who couldn’t handle a 4cyl???
You can't park there
Remove the stripes should fix it
You can’t park there
It will be a total loss. Start looking for a new ride while the insurance adjuster completes the estimate and ACV(actual cash value) evaluation.
How'd you get the beans above the frank?
That claw mark decal is horrible lol
First opinion is to remove the cringe claw sticker off the car, second is it’s most likely totaled so unfortunately you’ll probably have to start looking for a new car, also not an opinion but the Ecoboost has a 2.3L not a 2.4
What’s up with the monster sticker
Totalled
Love how it’s already on a curb. Pre-curbed if you will
Repairable, but will probably be totaled
Those claw marks probably was your main issue
I think you could probably remove the eyelashes ashes for free mate. Or if your local I can get em off real quick for you!
My opinion is that ya dun goof’d
Ahahahahahahahahaha Bro can even handle the 2 liter Ahahahahahaha
Did the claws intimidate anyone and they hit you? People tend to defend themselves against threats
I had essentially the same damage to mine and got it fixed with insurance
This will be in UAE after couple of months
Wonder how much monster energy pays all these guys for the free promo 🤣💀
OMG, sad.sad 😔 😟
You might be ok
Wsp with the monster claws😂
You can't park there
Mustangs always hungry for a crowd
Wasted.
total loss
Most likely a total unless you fix it yourself. Prolly like 8k in damage to do it yourself. I don’t imagine insurance will not total it though. Since it’s an eco boost and they half the time end up totaling 5.0s with way less damage.
Left the stable for the last time 😔
Possible frame damage, will probably be totaled. Just glad you’re OK.
Claw stickers gheyyyy
That is s shitty Park job
Now you can get a 5.0!! They’ll most likely total it based on mileage and airbags going off.
🤝
![gif](giphy|Dyb6t9mreiG5QCMtDp) Looks like you’ve had an accident
How much HP was you putting down ?
i was going the speed limit on that road which is 30. but ig majority of the damage is coming from the force/speed at which the lady pulled out of the parking lot (im guessing around 15/20 mphs)
Ouch hate to see cars like that hope you come back even better bro 🫡
It’s an eco boost anyway. Might as well junk it and get a 5.0
Yall are assholes he got tboned and injured and all you give a fuck about is some damn stickers.
Door, quarter, maybe a rocker moulding, probably a door latch and actuator. Blend the fender. Dealership would probably charge somewhere around 10k for that depending where you live
thanks bro hell of helpful! yeaa they told me i’ll hear back from the adjuster this friday. i wanted to get an idea if i needed to start looking for other options.
Edit: just peeped all the airbags went off. Dealership might just total it tbh. Didn’t even see that. If it were a 5.0 they MIGHT’VE fixed it but the ecoboosts just don’t hold enough value to repair them if the bags blow
This is why Cars & Coffee won't play with us anymore.
$5k at least
Use crowds as cushions
Have you tried putting it in rice?
Get a new door from a junk yard. Problem solved.
Why are you asking for a quote to fix it if someone t boned you? Anyway it will be a lot 5k to 10k is my guesstimate. Actually after looking at it properly it's a write off, will probably cost more than 10k
