Side note : all i did was read the title before clicking on it and the first thought in my head was some punk *** 16 year old tryed to show off to his friends then i saw who the poster was and about **** myself
lol nah I'm far from 16, six years difference. Never had an accident or a real ticket (only had tint tickets), guess there is a first for everything. I wonder how much my insurance will go up.

There was at least two big *** dear, plus they just came out of nowhere running across the road. It was just a reaction to avoid them.

Ill take it if its totalled.. I bought my car as a heaping wreck. Frame was bent 4 inches in on the drivers side, Lower a arm was bent, tie rod, both fenders were broke, hood was damaged but it is fixed now and painted black so its a spare, so pretty much the entire front end had to be fixed.

Nope. Airbags did not deploy as the car's whole driverside took the impact. I believe the only time the airbags deploy is when the front is smashed, correct? That's where the sensor is.

thats right but depending on how hard you hit the ditch the air bags could have deployed it might be a good thing if they didnt because most of the time if they dont the car is looked at as repairable.

Is your car a "Last of the Breed" edition T/A? How much would you sell the car for in "as is condition"?

That depends on who you talk to. All 02s are the last ones, but it does not have any LOTB emblems on it. You can usually find the emblems and such on Ebay if you're looking.

As for selling it I don't know what's going on with it yet.

Ouch, sorry about the car Personally I'd hope they'd fix it (if repairable), but that's just me.

I know, gets me worried that I might hit or get hit by something or someone

Of course who knows, if someone hits my driver front fender I could get my body work done without having to pay for it

Damn that really sucks. Ay least your okay. I would probably just have it totaled out. When my car was flooded in Katrina they wanted to fix it but I pushed for it being totaled out and used that money as a down payment on my current t/a. At the time I was mad and sad but eventually I got over it cause now I have something better. Good luck

Sorry to hear about your car, at least you are ok though. I know what you mean about only thinking about the damage to your car as you are going through an accident.

Whats wrong with a supra and what is your definition of rice? If your definition of rice is just a japanned car, then ok, but if it is the common definition, supra is far from it.

I probably won't get a Supra as they are still so damn expensive. I really don't know what I'm going to get next, still kinda leaning on a C5.
