Damn dude, that looks crazy. 2 Toyo's and a Lex involved ...be happy you're alive that's all. Cars are replaceable, life isn't.

I'm thankful you and yours are still here

If they total it out, you might as well get a new one, you have all of the parts stocked up already.

holy crap, one of the nicest modded cars is gone. Glad to see you're alright though, hope it's just temporary pain.

I was driving past your work today on lougheed and wondered why you weren't in your usual spot.

shoei, sorry to hear about the accident! important thing is that you were not seriously injured. cars can be replaced and remodded...your life can't. take care and if you need a favor from us, let us know.

on a side note, this may be the opportune time to upgrade to a 3GS. there may not be a whole lot to choose from here in vancouver, but you could definitely get your hands on one in the US. with the exchange rate now near parity, it would make sense to pick up a new or 2nd hand 3GS. just a thought....

well i have to see what icbc will say first on my gs, all the body shops say its a total loss because the roof buckled which means the structure on the roof is now off, and the side frame is buckled, so the whole car itself, its structure is off.

when i looked into the engine, i saw the strut tower area with some crimples in the sheet metal.
