Default Sad Day!

I was driving home after work one day, and going through an intersection. Thinking I had the right of way... I dodge one car in the intersection, and slam into another car . Everyone was fine.... except the Trans Am. The insurance company total it out. So if anyone lives in Colorado... the Trans Am is going up for auction this Monday at Klode. If anyone wants to buy, and part it out. Here is a picture of it.

Yeah, that'll be repairable...

However, based on the value of the car and the amount of damage, the insurance will claim it as a total loss

there was little over a 100,000 miles on the car. And the insurance said that the frame was bent.
