What does he mean by "broke the frame"? Bent? A lot of times a bent frame on a unibody car will total it no matter how minor it looks on the surface. The reason is that it compromises the integral structure of the 'safety cage' that the unibody offer. Put a kink in it and that whole safety cage is compromised.

That's sucks..hope the damage isn't too extensive.
Are you attending KSU?
My old office building used to be directly behind the Mariott Suite Hotel, but KSU bought the building and gave us the boot. LOL We moved down off of Chastain Rd., near 575 ramp.

Yeah, I've heard frame damage is insta-totaled, but I'm not 100% sure. Pascal, if he gets on, does body work and he's our resident expert on the subject.
