Wow, glad to see it wasn't worse. Talk about bad luck though, hopefully the smoking issue is an easy fix.

So she didn't stop or anything, just kept going on her merry way like nothing happened? That's shitty man.

If the oil pan is dented don't drive it, You will likely starve the engine of oil as the pickup is right there. Glad you made it out without an accident!

Got under the car today and Oil pan is toast its dented really bad as well as leaking from the gasket (havent taken if off yet to see if the bolt holes to the block are messed up) there is oil that starts at my return line and it covers pretty much the entire length of my underbellow. by the time I got home I was sitting at 15psi on my aem gauge, and when I checked the dipstick there was maybe a 1qt of oil left.
I also noticed my bumper pushed up against my FMIC and dented a bunch of fins but I dont see any holes or anything really major other then dented fins.

So Moroso Oil pan will be purchased sooner then I planned along with upgrading my 10an drain to 12an(guy gave me the part for the turbo I just dont have the line or fitting to weld to the oil pan atm. But still might be a while till I do this. Wife is on her way to doctors now to see about being induced later this week (my father birthday is this saturday, and I've asked her to see if Sat is possible) so everything will get put on hold for a while if the doctors say its ok.

Sorry to hear, that's pretty disappointing after going through that mess to begin with, then to have this happen... unbelievable. I imagine she didn't pull over to apologize? Or better yet to make sure everything is okay?

No she actaully pulled back into my lane and kept driving in my lane for probably another 1/4 mile before moving back into her lane.

I had the thought that she might have been foreign or something (I've met a few people living here that were from London). I mean normally you'd try get back in your lane after something like that not get back in the wrong lane.

Nope. damage is far less then what my rates would go up, and after deductable would almost be pointless.


But side note - wife went into labor during her Doctors visit today, we are home waiting for contractions to get closer together. Almost had the same birthday as Nash looks like we're going to miss it by a day
