I was turning left from the street to college parking lot, and the guy was turning left from the parking lot, and didn't look both ways so he t-boned me while I was turning... Clearly, his fault, he admitted it.

Ahh damn. That sucks man.

Glad you're ok, but I think I agree that the car will be totaled. If it makes you feel any better, it looks like she stood up pretty dang well against that PU. Usually a truck will only have a scratch and the car will be toasted. At least she didn't go down without getting some fair licks in return.

ive looked at the damage very closely---or as closely as i can given the pictures----and im not totally convinced your car is tottalled.

the bottom of your frame seems to have been untouched , or so it would appear.

if you find a good body shop u just might be able to get it back in good shape.

good luck either way ,,,,and main thing is your ok

Even if theres no frame damage, i doubt he wants to pay for the quarter panel fix, just way too much.

My first SC got hit by a truck as well, sucks. Glad your okay though,

i agree it wouldnt be cheap---it is definitely serious damage---but considering the other guys insurance will probably be covering it ---it may be a possibility

it all depends on if you want to keep your car or not.

might be better to take the money and invest in a different one.

how many miles were on the car if u dont mind me asking

Whats with all these accidents/dent/scratch threads couple weeks ago me now you, sorry to hear that. But Its not totaled your frame looks in good condition. Unless you have money you can fix it, but if i was you part it out and buy another sc ( if you want want one) of course you do. Good luck
