Default accident

Well I drive a 2004 neon sxt. Electric Blue. I had a guy on a bmx doing at least 30 miles per hour plow into the side of my vehicle. It compeltely demolished both passenger side doors.Then on top of that it punched two golf ball sized holes in the rocker panel under the door and bent it in. The paint is now chipping off of the car and it seems to be leaning to on side. The mirror on that side is also broken and the motor in the right side door for the window is broken. Do you think it will even be worth getting the car fixed or should i junk it. The car has 25000 miles on it and still runs but the freakin car looks like it got hit by a truck i will probably post pics later. I just wanted to get an opinion even though I am gonna have the car checked out. i know the kelly blue book for the car is around 8 grand.

If you dont have collision on your car then it might be worth fixing. Sometimes you can get lucky at the scrap yards but just make sure the critical structure of the car isnt damaged before you start to repair it.

Yeah there is a hill be my house that is really steep and he launched himself off of a spped bump and hit my car. I didn't believe it myself but it was nuts. I feel like sending a pic to dodge and show them what happens when a bike hits a neon. He is like 200 lbs. You have to figure it is kind of like shooting a bullet into the side of an imoveable object. It had the same effect except worse.
