Ahh im sorry to hear that man The same thing happened to me a week ago, but just the opposite. A lady ran a stop sign going left and smashed into my back side. Here is a picture. It was a dam truck that hit me to




The bad thing is, it wasnt even my fault. And she completely bended the frame.

Well, assessor just left my house. He estimates the damages at about $7500. The car on NADA lists for ~$9000, which means my baby is now gone to the F-Body heaven in the sky

Sorry buddy. That stinks. When you put up the second set of pictures I figured it was done. The whole frame looks shifted. Despite what Tainted says I think you're better off then getting it fixed with that much damage unless you have a bodyman you know and trust.

I do agree with Tainted in that some totaled cars can make good cars. I have a formerly totaled car but it was a flood not hit. You can do alright with a totaled car if you know the history, trust the person who fixed it, and want a driver without worrying about resale otherwise you're better off taking the money and getting yourself another non damaged car. Just my opinion.

Good luck man.
