Thumbs down We've got a sc DOWN two shots fired.

Sitting at a stoplight yesterday zoning out and then 'BAM' I get slammed from behind and thrown into the vehicle in front of me. The front vehicle and myself quickly pull off the the first side street and the guy that hits me takes off!! I tried to follow but too many cars pulled out in front of me while trying to turn around. I returned to the scene, called the police, insurance, etc.

Now to the pics..







It's sitting at an autobody shop now waiting for a quote. What do you guys think? Totaled?

It looks like it total, from the damage, it probably worth more than the value of the car.

That sucks. I'm sorry to say but it will be cheaper to find a new one.

Figured as much :/ Everyone was fine no injuries.. really hating on the person that hit and ran though.

Also what's the best way to go about grabbing the coils off before it's sent to the yard? (Assuming it is totaled).

Yea luckily I was leaning against the headrest when I got hit, so no whiplash.

Not sure if I want another SC, this one needed way too much TLC - any ideas?

When you say part the car before I junk it, are you saying I should buy it back from insurance after it's deemed totaled?
