Unhappy Totalled The Camaro

It may not neccessarily be totalled but it will cost quite a lot to repair it. So we'll see what the estimate is tomorrow. But it's been a sad and ugly past couple of days. It hit a concrete barrier coming onto an on-ramp at about 50mph. It does start but won't go into gear. The passenger firewall is slammed against the block and the frame may possilby be bent in a few areas. Didn't exactly hit head on but let just say if I didn't have my seat-belt on it would be a lot worse. It's good thing it was only me driving to and didn't even get hurt at all. I may just want to report it totalled and stay away from the LS1's for awhile

let just say there was some alcohol involved... and an unknown turn/speed/sleepy

i may see what it takes to fix it
all the girls reactions working at the local In&Out brought a smile to my face when they found out I basically totalled it... so we'll see

Dang you did hit it pretty hard sucks the air bags blew it wil prob take quite a bit of work to fix it and a pretty good amount of $$. If the frame isn't bent then the cost goes way down.
