Default BAD day for me =(

so it was about 6 oclock eastern time. As im headed to work, there is a stop sign at an intersection that is very awkward. A car in front of me at the stop sign decided to accelerate past the stop sign. At this point, i was in a rush going to work, and when i looked in my blind spot to see if there were no cars..i accelerated as well.

to sum it all up, the person in front of me decided to hit the breaks hard and not proceed onto the road, and me not looking, rear ended the guy going about 5mph!!

my front bumper and grill are cracked a little..the bumper brace indented the bumper from the inside, and where the fog lights are, the plastic around them has fallen out.
the brace that is behind the bumper gaurding the radiator is bent in and it seems to me that the front bumper is offset a touch.

i am crying my eyes out (not really) but i feel like such an idiot!!!!! my BB A4 Premium Plus is damaged and i am soo upset about it!

i show my friends n they take about 2 min to actually see what happened to it. they sai its not bad at all, but to me, its BAD..


when i drive, 0-40, there is a whistling noise, kind of sounds like a turbo sounding off. idk what it is, but hope that its only cosmetic damage and nothing internal.

i will take pictures and see what you guys think.

The turbo whistle is normal, I think. You are likely hyper-sensitive due to the accident. Sounds like a minor one... Don't sweat it.

Take comfort in the fact that nobody was hurt, and your car can be restored to normal.
