Default Daily Driver Z wrecked, pic

-EDIT- More pics further down...

This is pretty much what I posted on RPM's board this afternoon:

I was on the way over to a friend's a little before 3pm today. Just 3/4 of a mile outta my apt, a girl decided at the last second to turn left in front of me. I hit her basically head-on (her car at a 45ish deg angle from turning).... I had my seatbelt on and my airbags of course popped out. I am pretty sore (neck anyway) and still shaky. The passenger in the other car seemed to be hurt pretty badly, and both occupants left in an Ambulance.

I have worked on this car nearly all weekend, every weekend since I got it in December; what a waste.

Since I have no scanner, here is a pic of the polaroid that one of the officers took for me.

thats horrible! my sympathies. atleast your more or less in one peice. just make sure you get those neck pains looked at and documented. could mean alot of $$ in the long run, but also do it to make sure u didn't hurt anything of course.

Definitley get checked up by the doctor and document EVERYTHING.

Last year my g/f got rear ended VERY slightly, as in not a smashed rear end, but a cracked rear bumper ( think he hit her bumper support). Anyways, she had a little neck pain and went to the chiro a few times for it, but ended up getting about $3K from his insurance company for her injuries and troubles.... as in she got to pocket that much.

So definitley document everything.

Did you check to see if she had insurance? Sorry to hear about the car. I would definatley go see a doc to be sure.

I had the same exact thing happen to me. Damage was exactly the same except mine wasnt as bad as yours. Wish you the best of luck with it all.

Yeah Insurance totaled it, but the car was 6 years old and had close to 90K miles on it. If the insurance co. totals it you have the right to be the first one to buy your vehicle back from the insurance co. I would jump on it. I get $3500 for my camaro and then bought it back for $1200 and sold it as is on ebay for $3400. Its an easy way to make some extra $$ or if you have time you can part it out or keep whatever for yourself.
