My condolences man, that sucks. Helluva swipe too

My bets are that that rear door might open, but the new position of the rear wheel makes me think it's worse than it looks.

Hopefully it wasn't a targeted attack,and just a drunk driver. I happen to be Chicago for the weekend with my Volvo

Oh man, what a sad fate for such a beautiful R.

Sad, rear suspension seems bent, a rear quarter panel and a door might fix it

Wow, you can the tire path of that other car.

Sorry about your car.

Worth putting it up and seeing suspension damage. Neil did a great job documenting the rear suspension I wouldn't call it dead yet.

Buy the wreck back from the insurance co. for cheap and hunt down some parts at a junkyard. It'll be a project and you may not have a garage to work in, but that's what I'd try since it looks to be in otherwise great condition.

Alcohol involved in that crash (or texting) -- you can bet on it.

That will buff right out! Seriously though, I personally would look further to see what is really wrong with the rear suspension before determining if its a write off.

Back in the days my first 850 turbo was rear ended at 40 mph in a hit and run. Luckily it didnt hit the wheels or suspension but was able to drive it home even though the whole back end caved in bending the roof. Was able to open all the doors and none of the windows broke either

. notice the roof on the passenger side
