Yes, the M.I.L. wrecked it. Hit a speed limit sign (there are less damaging ways of social commentary). It's a goner for sure.

Oh well, I didn't have a lot of money into it, and it had a pretty rough time over the past 18 months anyway. And I wasn't looking forward to replacing the steering rack on it, so it's nice that she wrecked it before I did that....but she did do it after I put new calipers on the front.

And, yes....I already made it clear that she NOT going to touch either of my A4s or my 944S....or the Honda I bought from Craig Marshall for my little sister.

Well I hope this means your MIL car responsibility has been lifted.

Just a guess on prices:
Hood; $450 painted
Bumper; $400 painted
grill; $100
some structural work; ~$500
And the engine suffered some damage.....$??.??

Car was probably worth $2K tops, so it's a total loss. Rest in peace little buddy.......
