No way in hell would I drive around like that. Big neon sign telling everyone I ****ed up. Be better off buying the car back. Gutting it and stuffing it in an RS.
(not talking crap OP just saying... I personally wouldn't want to drive around with a badge of honor even if I got it on the track... and I'm currently driving around with a dent in my door. It's embarrassing)
Side note... isht would leak like crazy.

glad you are ok and a trooper for driving it home after the accident.
Like many people have suggested, total loss
If I were in a similar situation, I'd consider this as a way to resurrect your car

At this point I believe I will be parting many of the aftermarket parts off her. Writing a FS Part out thread now

Thankfully the 45mph collision with a tele pole did not hurt her and she walked away fine. I was going to borrow this car while she went to school. I think life is telling me something about cars!
