wow eh....im surprised she drove it all the way from burnaby to east side without a problem...called the shops and they towed it in for repair...

how much u guys think this would cost?

[AVS_Racing]

not cheap at least a G, looks like the arms are bent + rims cracked?

[GabAlmighty]

It's an audi. She might as well buy a new one right now. Or like 15 volvos

[GabAlmighty]

not cheap at least a G, looks like the arms are bent + rims cracked?
Hopefully that's all...

[Nokiss]

that's gonna cost a few g's....... one is not even close enough for parts

[Jsunu]

man thats my main worry, minor skids that costs $$$ to repair.

[hoking]

now check out the wicked negative camber

http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs002.snc3/10959_373351025092_521375092_10179913_3641504_n.jp g



You do mean "positive" camber right?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

aint gonna be cheap since its an audi

[danizer]

You do mean "positive" camber right?

lol whoops...my bad :) changed

[El Bastardo]

Ouch. At least shes ok tho.

[shenmecar]

she must have hit it really hard.

[LenovoTurbo]

Positive camber and negative caster. Must be pulling extremely to the right when your friends mom was driving. Something else is bent as well as CA's. $1k-$2k maybe.

[1exotic]

your moms friend is a noob

[hirevtuner]

AWD car + poor driving skills is this result

[ilvtofu]

sucker, winter tires would probably cost less than that one wheel.

[jeff_alexander]

sucker, winter tires would probably cost less than that one wheel.

You're wrong, you can never convince middle aged asian woman that their AWD with summer tires is inferior than RWD with winter tires.

Explaining the purpose of winter tires to them is like trying to explain the concept of the chaos theory to a preschooler. It's all just going to go wrong.

[ilvtofu]

^LOLOL friction from an extra diffs is enough to stop my car in the snow!

Although to get going in the snow based on my own experience I say the awd car > RWD with snow tires (open diff :P) but to stop and corner (where it counts) snow tires make a huge difference

[danizer]

your moms friend is a noob

you sir are a noob :)
my FRIENDs MOM hahaha

[Greenstoner]

it shoulnt cost her that much for the repair, but it cost a lot for us to be on the streets

[PiuYi]

holy shit man thats so fucked up u can tell by the first pic alredy alignment is wayyy off

It's an audi. She might as well buy a new one right now. Or like 15 volvos

+1 couple g's at LEAST

[saiko]

drive carefully everyone!

Sometimes you never know, when your brakes lock up (abs & panic - holding it) and a slight patch of ice..

I'm going to try and avoid as much driving as I can, I don't need the stress of a repair bill or meetings with icbc at this time of the year.

[!Tigger]

Rim =100 - 1000( audi oem or aftermarket.)
alignment = 80 - 100
Lower arm = 100 - 300
mount and balance wheel = 20ish
shop charge = 30ish

then shop wage on top of that

[skyxx]

Icbc even told people to not drive that much this winter.

[Euro7r]

Cost should never be a factor, since it's minor expenses if your mom's friend rolls in an Audi, ahhaha.

[Harvey Specter]

Ouch, that's going to cost major $$$ if she towed her car to Audi. I would imagine a few g's at least.

[CivicTypeRice]

Pics of mom?

[ChyahGT]

u fucked up the upper n lower control arm i believe.. i did the same last year..
cost me about 1g..
luckily my subframe was not damaged..

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u304/azn_fryrice/03012009003.jpg
and i fucked up my lip.. sighhh..

[danizer]

^ somehow the A4 looks like it sustained more damage LOL...its like 3" higher than it should be hahaha

[GabAlmighty]

Don't have to hit a curb hard for it to do alot of damage, go ahead ask me how I know.

[4doorVIP]

What kind of tires are those? I heard insurance may not cover damage if you run summer tires in the winter. Esp if there is ice on the ground

[weitaro]

Don't have to hit a curb hard for it to do alot of damage, go ahead ask me how I know.

how

[cococly]

If the Audi was the FWD version, she might not be able to drive it back to Burnaby ;(

Another reason why I am not driving my car today with my AWD ;)

[hotong]

^ same fuck winter.

[ilvtofu]

and i fucked up my lip.. sighhh..

My lips are fucked up too stupid cold weather, whats a good chapstick/lip balm?

[maxx]

$6k is my estimate

[tofu1413]

guess quattro isnt enough to cover up the mistakes C lais would make..

[BEEB]

If those are OE wheels, complete OE repair would probably run you 4000-6000 from Audi.

[fishing666]

just sell the car as damaged and get a nice corolla

[bcedhk]

is gonna cost you at least 2.5k.

the rim repair will cost you at least 400 since is OEM.

[threezero]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWyAOuOt_LI

[TRD Rs200]

a G is not even close, shes likely looking at a new lca, maybe a knuckle, tca, control arm, and maybe a sway bar. its an audi. might as well start looking at a new one. my est is ~4-5G,

[asahai69]

hopefully it costs a shit load so ur buddys mom learns her lesson and slows the fuck down when the weather is garbage.

[TOS'd]

My lips are fucked up too stupid cold weather, whats a good chapstick/lip balm?

Carmex Lip Balm is supposed to be really good and highly recommended.

[SkinnyPupp]

Glad she didn't hurt herself or anyone else with her poor driving. Just because it's "quattro" doesn't mean you drive at full speed in bad road conditions.

[thumper]

better start hitting the phone book for euro auto wreckers for used 2006 parts because new oem is going to cost a bitch :cry:

[too_slow]

I can guarantee you that it will cost you over $4000 if you brought it into Audi..

[Presto]

The rim alone is probably $800 or more.

[AVS_Racing]

OP post updates, im interested in how this C Lai drama unfolds

[jigjag]

I did almost the exact same thing w my fx35 back in oct. I posted a "help" thread here somewhere but never got around to updating w/ pics or end costs...
Anyway, oem shit is big $$$. I was hoping it would be a g or two so I could pay it out and no go thru icbc. No luck. I needed lower cont arm, upper ca, wheel bearing, my rim was bent, my headlight housing was cracked too. All in all total repair cost was like 7500. Mind u a stock 20" rim alone is 1600, and the hl housing was 1300. Anyhow, shit adds up quick. Btw my ride feels better drivin now than before. If ur lookn for a car and it has a big claim on it, u shouldn't rule it out automatically. But still, sux having a ding that big on an otherwise unmolested car.
But ya, urs gonna cost ~5500 if done thru Audi (which u should IMO).

Cheers

[thumper]

with that wheel being worth so much coin... is it worth repairing? it still holds air so i'm assuming it's not cracked...

[jigjag]

rim bent = eff'd = not repairable = need new rim

[shantz]

rim bent = eff'd = not repairable = need new rim

If the rim has a minor bend in it a company like Nu Brite or Panther might be able to straighten it.

Probably best to just make an ICBC claim IMO - If you're worried about having a claim against your insurance you can always pay out the cost of repairs at the end of the job. You're covered for all damages if you make a claim, and you'll have a guarentee to go back on if something should get missed (both from ICBC as well as the shop).

[too_slow]

Looking at the pic again, those look like RS4 replicas

[G-spec]

I did the same thing to my moms Chevrolet Venture minivan back in 2001, a taxi cut me off and I swerved into a curb to avoid hitting him, and it cost around 2 grand, and I only hit with my front right wheel going about 60km..... once again.... 2001 CHEVROLET VENTURE, FRONT RIGHT WHEEL, 2 GRAND DAMAGE !

OEM Audi parts price + a whole lot more damage than we see in the pictures = righteously paying the price for driving the same way in shitty weather as you do in dry


don't even wanna try and guess how much it will cost, but to be safe between 5 and 10 grand, please post the details of pricing once you guys figure it out at your local Audi dealer

[wasabisashimi]

will this winter be as bad as last?

[Chicken Balls]

rim bent = eff'd = not repairable = need new rim

the rim looks fixable, i've fixed something that looked like that before..brought it to panther.

[trollguy]

both the posted cars have some sweet negative caster.

[Jackygor]

The rims are easily repairable, probably cost you around 200-300 dollars. As long as the crack isn't on the spokes, its repairable, or so I heard.

[Synapz]

both the posted cars have some sweet negative caster.

not as sweet as someone who can't tell the difference between positive and negative camber

[danizer]

Looking at the pic again, those look like RS4 replicas

nope, genuine RS4 rims bought from audi...car was bought used not 3 months ago haha

friend's mom is well connected and brought to a client's bodyshop for repairs. not gonna claim ICBC and gonna sell the car after all the repairs...looking for buy a 4x4 for under $50,000 because the car is "unlucky" and not a good enough winter car ==

look out for another C-lai in a Q5/GLK

closeup of rim

[JSALES]

why didn't she pull over after it happened to check if everything was alright? instead she just kept on driving

[tonyvu]

thats going to be costly O_o for a new control arm cause they don't re-bend those things.
buddy fucked up on his RSX in the snow last year, cost him about a 1G to get it fixed.

I told you 4x4's are invincible when it comes to C-Lai logic. For all they care, a 4x4 can go anywhere, anytime, and accomplish anything. It could even cure cancer and AIDS.

Hopefully you are able to provide us more details on the A4 so no one in the future will have the unfortunate fate of owning this trashed A4 owned by a C-lai.

She's so well connected she bought her license eh? ;)

Not only does she have the wrong attitude to cause an accident like this, she put other people at risk driving around with all that wheel and suspension damage.

She should buy a student-driver Corolla and pay a driving instructor $30000 to sit beside her for a year to learn how to drive.

[some_punk]

how

Pot holes, or anything that hits the tires hard enough.

im assuming this happened on Sunday? fucking failure.I made it down in a S2000 from SFU with summer tires.

AWD car + poor driving skills is this result
How is it possible. I drove my friends TL-SHAWD with dunlop direzzas in the snow and it was so fucking stable O.o Again this C-Lai needs to have her license revoked.
