Not Again!!! FML
I dont see why everyone is pissed that itsslow98 said it was his fault. It is his fault. No matter how hard someone slams their brakes in front of you you are responsible to stop without hitting them. No argument about it.
Negative. It varies by state. I've seen rear end collisions where the vehicle that hit the brakes was at fault. "Fault", if the state even has that, is determined by either the officer on scene, the insurance companies, or state/commonwealth laws.

As i stated before the cops were called and when the arrived they asked for mine and the other driver side of the story and then went to his patrol car, the officer came back after about 15 mins and said that the first car that slammed on there brakes causing the accident was at "fault" but since the car that caused the accident left the scene me and the second driver were left to deal with it our selves. No one was issued a citation as we were not at "fault".

Got a call from Statefarm the adjuster is going to be looking at it tomorrow. Part of me wants it to be fixed as I have built this car from the ground up but the part wants it totaled where I can just start over on low mileage accident free SS/WS6.

Odds are they will fix it for you and if they total it you can always fight it but the insurance companies will typically total it if the amount of damage is 75% of the vehicles value and the damage doesn't look like it adds up to me anyway.
I understand you've but a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the car but do you think that a new car would be an option? I mean if I wrecked two cars almost identical to each other in looks not even a year apart, I would consider getting at least a different year or at least color f-body. Anyways thats just my opinion and I hope everything goes well with your car.

And if you left black marks, the ABS wasn't working properly.

Just got off the phone with Statefarm and they said its totaled they said thats its going to take them at least a day to come up with a figure of what the car is worth since it is so heavily modified.

Yea it sucks now I'm waiting on Statefarm to figure out what the car is worth so they can give me a check. Statefarm told me that its going to take a couple of days as they have to consider all the modifications done to the car and I have to fax in all my receipts. How long does it usually take for an insurance company to figure up what the car is worth and send you a check?
Also ill be buying the car back and parting it out so get ready for that thread and ill be starting another thread looking for anoher low mileage SS or Ws6.

And this is what the car looks like as of 8:30pm today, Thanks to some jackass deciding to slam on there brakes because they missed there turn into Zaxby's
And for yall that have forgotten this is what happened a week ago last year https://ls1tech.com/forums/racers-lo...-5-2011-a.html . I had the SS towed to a body shop and will be going up there first thing in the morning to see what they say.

I once rear ended someone after sliding 20+ feet in antifreeze because some asshat cop didn't do his job and clean the road after a previous wreck. not every rear ender wreck is cut and dry like you think it is.
You know what I mean? I have a family member that works at Allstate. Rear end collisions are judged on fault on a case by case basis. HOWEVER, 98% of the time, yes it is the person in the backs fault.

Do us a favor and buy a black one next time lol... Sucks you got into another accident, Watch out for stupid drivers they are everywhere. The thing is, most bad drivers don't get into accidents, they cause them.
