Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I'm on here everyday even though I don't post frequently (unless I have trouble with something) so I feel like I kind off know you all in some way.

I'll know soon if the patient (panel) will survive to drive another day. If not, may end up temporarily in an SS till I figure out what I really want. If it wasn't a daily driver, I'd probably be shooting for a panel SS

Hopefully, it’s just a flesh wound , a little facial damage.
A new fender hood grille, some under the hood parts and good as new!
Here’s hoping!

Drifter..

That is a sweet ride i would seriously consider fixing it . If someone else does it you wont have to look at it in your driveway and you will be back on the road in your panel in a short period of time. Win Win!

Well...the blue flash was sadly deemed to be no longer a viable vehicle, totaled. Definitely bummed out but turning this into an opportunity for a major upgrade...I deserve it lol. Probably a 13 audi q5 2.0 turbo. Loaded and very sweet, more cargo space than the panel, as I alway keep back seats down for work stuff. Friggin roof is all glass, love those panoramics.

Swiped everything out of the blue flash, so be looking for a nice parts for sale list soon as I get everything straightened out. Bigger items will include mint gray leather heated seats (front), NIB gm sunroof frame, eibach lowering springs with 3k miles. and lots of little stuff.

Please be patient and don't post or message asking about the parts, it will get too confusing. I'll try to get the list up in 2-3 weeks and deal with all the questions then.

I'm probably the most cautious drver on the road (because I've had a lot of really nice vehicles) so this goes to show that it can still happen, so keep your eyes on the road and assume everyone else is an idiot.

I bet everyone has enough evidence, we don't have to assume. Very good advice, though.

Sorry to hear the blue flash has met it's demise. Glad you can turn it into a positive!

I'm sorry to see these wounds.
But perhaps you are in a hurry to send this soldier into retirement.
I do not see anything fatal.
I will say more. In August 2017, my Hippo received similar injuries.
Everything is very similar, only the impact is not in the center of hood, but to the left side.
Fortunately, the radiator did not crack, although it was deformed.
In this state, Hippo briskly ran until March 7, scaring the surrounding grandmothers.
On March 7, I sent him for treatment. The result is remarkable.
Hood - replacement and painting.
The radiator frame was straightened, the metal rupture was welded.
The front fenders are also straightened and painted.
Bumper ... Master did a miracle. He sealed all the cracks, leveled and painted. The bumper as new, and it's solid.
The broken headlight bracket was replaced with a steel mount ( handmade).
About the little things I will not write, everything is also good now.
Thus, your "Blue Flash" too has great chances for a long and useful life.
