I had someone look like they were going to pull out and try to make a left infront of me today, I wish I could get mine totaled.

Haha, that's kind of what I was hoping for, I really don't want to drive a wrecked/painted car around. It's just not going to be the same car, you know?

As far as everyone goes though, we are all fine. At least my father and I are. The guy in the Accord was in shock initally after the accident, he just sat in his car, and stared off into space. He finally realized what happend, and basically confessed to me. He was issued a ticket for failure to yield. DUH.

I guess I'll find out what happens tomorrow, but I'm sure they'll wind up fixing it. My luck isn't THAT good.

All parties OK, but his car is definitely a loss. I am not sure what to think about my car, the bags never went off (wondering why?) the bumper support is bent back, but the radiator somehow missed the collision. It looks like it was just the right front of the car.

Anyways, what are your thoughts?


The fact that the airbags did not go off may help the fact that the goat is not totalled. They are very expensive. i would say it is not totalled for sure.

Just got back from getting an estimate, right now the total is at $6500. He forgot to add the right side skirt, and a bumper support in the front.

Here's an interesting little fact:

It smashed the air bag sensor thing in the right front of the car, but again no bag deployment. He thought it was due to the fact that we probably hit at speeds less than 30mph.

All in all I suspect the total to be around $7500, about $1500 short of calling it a loss.

Well, the body shop said the repair bill has to be at least 50% of the total value of the car, and assuming my car is worth less than I think it is, $9,000 would be close to half.

I believe my car is worth roughly $19,500, but I've always been way too high.
