Well, this escalated quickly...

Long story short?

Driver in front of me in the left lane lost control of her SUV on a bridge in some ice and slammed into my car, impacting the left-front side and pinning the right side to the guard-rail (concrete). Those are the facts, currently, and here are the pix, no damage report yet. What say ye? Totaled, maybe the structure bent, general consensus? Speed was @40mph

Oh Damn! Sorry to see/hear that! I hope it's not a total loss.

It's totaled.

Nah, probably not... But you might wish it was.

Good luck man.

Ouch, good luck man. Hope this works out for you, hate to see posts like this!

Red__Zed · 01-15-2013, 12:43 PM

Would have to see underneath, but unlikely they total for that.

Unless your $999 headlights cracked.

Let me have those Nissan brakes?

Seriously though sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out for you!

Sorry to hear. I hope it is totaled, so that you don't have to drive a structurally damaged car. Good luck!

Not totaled. See if you can pursue the insurance company with a decreased value claim. Good luck.

Not totaled at all, not even close...

New fenders, new paint, new lights, done deal

New rims, compensation for the wrap, figure out if it was just the tire or something else that caused it to pull hard, etc. The whole interior shifted violently. I'm dumping it. I am pretty sure this is the kind of stuff that causes later issues with little wire connectors, grounds, tons of rattles, and just makes a car feel "loose". I've driven cars that have been tracked (1/4 mile) hard on slicks/DR's and the whole car just feels "floppy". That has to be less violent than being slammed into a guard-rail and pinned by an SUV. It's going to be the little things, with this car, and I'm not going to be stuck with it.

thought this was going to be an anchorman quote thread

Turned out to be something sad instead. Sorry for the loss

From the outside, it doesn't look too bad, but I'm no body mechanic.

Good time to get some aftermarket fenders:
