Angry Todays math less

99 Suburban goes into 2001 Lexus?

Answer = totaled?

On my way back from South Bend. I was rolling up to a toll gate when Mr. Suburban decided that he wanted to sneak through in my trunk. (He didn't fit!)

Police said no skid marks. He hit me doing about 30mph! I was rolling up maybe about 10 mph.

Looks totaled to me but insurance has reported back yet.

That's a shame. I think drivers should take a course on how to drive those tanks. Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope everyone is ok.

The driver of the Suburban may have been looking for cash for the toll and smacked into your car. For whatever reason it was, u got smacked pretty good in the back. It kinda looks like the damage I suffered but mine was in the front. Mine was a total loss but I won't be surprised if that damage could be repaired instead of being claimed a total loss. But aside from the car, as long as u and any passengers that u may have had inside are ok then that's the main thing.

Man whats up with everyone getting their cars wrecked this month? Eliott and now you? Maybe it's bad luck month for the GS. I know I'll be rolling around extra careful these next few weeks!

even with the low speeds, that heavy *** suburban had enough momentum to obliterate your rearend.

so glad you're OK though....but it looks totaled.

hang in there
