i would worry about getting a new arm. that is the main thing to get it rolling again. the plastic can either get replaced or possibly plastic welded from underneath to hide it a bit. it will be a tough spot to do though. they could be trimmed to help with the flex of the area. if it was me, it would be replaced at some point for sure. check the welds at the arm mounts and see how they are too. I would suspect that the frame is alright since it seems to have buckled pretty easy right there. there is alot of deformation in the arm which is a good thing. it didnt transfer the energy through the arm into the frame to crack it. steve

ya thats what I was thinking just wanted to make sure there wasn't any soft spots on the front end of the frame or anything. All the welds look fine. Thanks for the info

Better check out your bottle of Gatorade.
There could be a small hole in it , which would cause it to leak.

You might want to check the seat for a brown stain on it.

After closely RE-Examining your pics, and carefully calculating angles and speed, at the time of impact. While also taking into consideration the angle of the sun, time of day, and amount of fluid in the Gatorade bottle. Yellow02400ex, it is very evident to me at least, that it was you, who pulled out in front of your buddy, thus, it was you that caused the collision.
