Haha... I'd say you won, the car can be fixed... the pole cant!

Another victory for the F-body (now if only that pole had a V-TEC sticker on it...)

It was the force of the impact. I was strapped in with the seat belt. I had my cell phone on the sun visor and a coffea mug in the cup holder and both of them wound up in the trunk of the car. I am hoping that the strut tower brace and weld in sub frames saved the structure of the car. I know some shocks are busted and possibly the rack and pinion. I should find out total damages and whether or not the car is a total loss or repairable tomorrow. I have been fighting to get the insurance adjuster out too the body shop.

The insurance appraiser finally saw the car today. It isn't totalled and he is apparently a good guy. He told the auto shop that they basically have an open checkbook to fix the car. He told them to do whatever they got to do to make me happy with the car. This is good news because I may be able to upgrade some of the parts. I will go over the itemized list of parts and costs tomorrow.
