Just because you're paranoid, driving in DFW traffic, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you!!!

How many accidents are there in the average daily DFW rush hour??

Not since Tuesday night it isn't. Down in the low 50's last night and tonight...

Attached are pictures of my 300D, post accident. Anyone want to take a guess at the price tag to repair it? I cannot tell yet whether the power steering pump is damaged or the A/C compressor. I have not seen the car in person yet. Still waiting to hear from the insurance company.

I have not heard back from any forum members in Plano. If anyone can get over and do a close inspection for me, I would appreciate it.

Can anyone tell me how involved it would be to add a trailer hitch to my 84 300D? I am thinking of towing my 85 back to PA from TX with the 84.

Is there a recommended brand of hitch I should use?

On the estimates. Its hard to say. With no Frame involvement you can likely get by under a grand with parts depending on where you get them. if there's frame involvement your talking several thousand dollars, the inner fender skirt can be hammered out with some degree of success but it's hard to tell with the hood closed and no other Views above and below of the damage
