So I'm on my way to PowderTrax's drive this morning, going down 132nd a couple miles from my house when this Nissan Sentra pulls out of a drive way right in front of me! I stand on the brakes but the car doesn't stop in time and I smash both of her driver's side doors. Airbags deploy, cops show up, traffic gets held up, and it's a huge mess. I think my thumb is broken but I didn't think it was ER-worthy, plus I didn't want to leave the car there. We move our cars off the street (the front end of mine is not rolling properly at this point), the other driver gets a ticket, and we exchange info. I call a flat bed and the dude shows up after what seems like forever. We get the car to my house. The top has trouble latching, but I close it and go inside to cool off, call the other driver's insurance company, and type this message. I'm ****in' fuming right now, especially since I just put some new parts on the car within the last 3 weeks and was very satisfied with how the PGP Lap Attack went yesterday.

Here are some pictures:







Damnit!!!! I've had the wheels/tires on for a 1.5 months, coilovers for a few weeks, just had a fairly aggressive alignment done last Saturday, and a Saner bar (PITA to install) for 3 days. This sucks. I really hope the car is totalled because I don't want it back.

Here's what it looked like a few days ago, I didn't even get to take some decent picutres of it, or put the OEM lip on that I ordered. That's probably a good thing:







What a ****in' fail

What are the chances that it's totalled? It doesn't look bad from the pictures, but the car doesn't roll correctly (something is catching, I had to force it off the road) and I had trouble latching the top. Should I rip the parts off it right now or leave them on?

I had much worse damage than that, and the car was repairable. However, "totalled" means the cost of the repairs is worth more than the car, and every year the base value of the car gets lowered.

It's too hard to tell from pictures, you need to get it inspected by a professional.

That's sucks bad man. I hope it turns out ok. I would call a lawyer and make sure you're compensated to par.
