totalled.
happened friday on my way home from work. i was in this old woman's blind spot while she attempted to change to the inside lane of the highway where i was. i'm like WTF and jerk the car to the left and overcorrected to the right and tires broke loose from the pavement and the rear end went left then right until my car was facing sideways into oncoming traffic still going about 30. i then get t-boned by a truck and SUV until i hit the gaurdrail in front of me. the whole passenger side of the car pretty much exploded and glass from the windshield came in and cut up my left hand and the center console smashed into my right hip. i think the passenger side mirror ended up in my lap. there was dust and glass and smoke everywhere. just a good thing i didnt have a passenger b/c i dont think they would have survived. that and i only ended up with bruises. also didnt have my other wheels on for the summer( 40 cm wider then stock)--wonder if that would have prevented the accident. and i guess the insurance company probably wont cover my blower 
, although i did remove all the intact pieces.

WOW... dude youre lucky... just a damn good thing youre ok, thats the most important thing.. all the insurance and car stuff can be dealt with later, right now you need to be thanking someone that youre still alive.

RE: totalled.
WOW, there is nothing left of your car. I guess they are built to do that so you can walk away like you did..... Please tell me she didn't get away... Thats the b!tch of it, if you let her hit you, she is at fault, but because you avoided hitting her then its your fault. In the insurance co. eyes.

RE: totalled.
i think that B watched me wreck. all that i could remember about her car is that it was a later model white cadillac, and ya she kept going. not worried about the insurance or any of that stuff b/c i know once everything sorted out and everythings lined up i'm buying another 05-06 GT. i've just been having a string of bad luck. this summer i've already cracked my elbow on my bike when some1 else on anotherbike ran into me, and guess what, they took off too. that was a bloodier accident though. then just a week ago i broke my pinky toe on a stair . hopefully this will be the end of it

RE: totalled.
i wish i could have got some better pics but my battery died on my camera. the entire passenger side is gone from the rear window up and i think the engine shifted about 3 inches towards the driver side
