99 Ta Rip Sitting at a stoplight last night, then bam. A guy hit me with a Cadillac Seville going 45 mph. He pushed me 15 feet and into 2 other cars. Exhaust was crinkled up under car and it rippled the back quarters. When I slammed into the two other cars the hood is fucked up, both front fenders and pushed the battery into the fender wells. The damage up front looks repairable but not in back. They will probably total it out anyway with the wrinkled rear quarters even if it was repairable.
Maybe I'll get something new for Christmas.

Sorry to hear the news. 
Was this accident weather related? I ask because we had a huge snow storm in the upper midwest yesterday and all I was seeing were accidents left and right.

That's so fucked up... I would flip the hell out because I know that the insurance company would never give me as much as my car is really worth if it got totaled out. I'd be lucky to get 10k for it. ********.

No he isn't, he has a messed up neck, his fingers lose feeling at times, and he has trouble remembering simple things like where he put stuff down ect. and his toes tingle intermittantly...at least...you told them that, right?
Last accident I was in I thought I was okay, woke up next day and couldnt breath without an ice pick through my chest, it hurt like hell. Everything in my neck/back was out of place, well, in 3 places. It hurt. Ended up fighting the insureance company like hell becuase I didnt take my obligatory ambulance ride.

Yeah well I am sore, talked to my lawyer about it today so we're going to see what happens. It seems as though he gave false insurance information. I won't know for a few days it they are going to total it or not. I hope so, i really don't want them to replace, repair every part except for one door and the roof.
I test drove a GTO today, to tell you the truth I was a little dissapointed. It didn't have the seat of the pants feel my TA had.

Be glad your not dead. now you can get a new car and enjoy it. perhaps wait a year and be 1 of the 1st to buy a 5th gen!
Buy the car back and salvage the motor tranny etc. and sell them. thats waht i did when my 96 got totaled except the selling part. I was lucky i didn't even get a scratch, the guy that hit me almsot hit my drivers door in a pickup going about 50! I was glad to see how tough the car was in a hit like that
