Yeah, that's pretty much the deciding factor. Do you want two or four seats?

Sorry to see your TB SS hurt. I saw your pictures on one of the other forums but didn't realize you were in Houston. What aftermarket did you have done to it other than the tune?

I'd go with a G8 personally.

Are you selling the mods?

I dont mean do spoil your party, but I seriously doubt that its totaled. Have you ever heard of a FRAME MACHINE. Just because there is frame damage doesnt mean its totaled. Its proabably worth close to 20,000 or more. Damages have to cover more than say 50% to total it. Judging by your pics, it doesnt look that bad.

No, your right, TOTALED. Seriously though, its nots totalled. I work in the business. I kinda know what will totall and not. The frame will get pulled, the door starightened, and new trim and its done. I bet the damages are less than 6000 bucks. At the most.

totaled? lol, my buddy took his SS truck into a construction garbage tank and took out sever palm trees and a light pole well he was at it. had the truck back a month later and good as new. and his truck acutally looked like it had hit something compared to yours. he slammed it into a curb about a year later and hit another pole, with frame damage again. had it back about 2 weeks later.

That's not safe. I wouldn't be driving around a truck that has had frame damage twice, it just becomes structurally unsound depending on how bad the accidents were.
