This is what insurance is for.
That's exactly what I am thinking.

UPDATE!

so apparently the upper control arm is bent and will be replaced tomorrow, i will need a wheel alignment and thats the next question!! Any idea where in NJ can i get it aligned??? Called STS and MAVIS in my area and no one can do it because of hight clearance, any suggestions??

Just had a similar hit and run this past Sunday; the rear side of my rear wheel was hit, causing at least a snapped tie rod.. waiting on the car to get shipped to a local repair shop as this happened across state lines. I'm looking at at least a new tie rod, quarter panel, probably new control arms and axle, and repainted rear bumper..

People can be trash, glad that your car ended up being mostly alright!

Perhaps position the real wheels back where they belong whereby allowing the loads on the rear wheel and drive axel to be where the cars suspension was designed... besides .. "the look" now is a bit teenie-bopper.
