kind of starting to think it is totaled, I talked to the insurance company, said they usually only cover about 20-30% of the total damage, and a 5k car, yea, think its going to cost a little more than that....so worst case scenario get 5k in my pocket, walk up to this guy on the corner and buy his LS1 camaro.

And the reason I probably got the ticket is, I'm 18, they think I'm trying to go fast and furious or something. It's hard to really explain to people when its your own car, and you pay for it with your own money, that you have a little more respect for it than your parent's cars, I mean I babied that thing, it really is different when it is yours.

lol at the cheeseburger thing hahahaha

damn that sucks to hear man sorry about that, i know the feeling. I was at a dyno day with my old V6 and when it was over i was going down the street and started to drift and the rear tires went over the painted STOP on the street and caused it to grip for a second which made the car head right to the curb, nothing really got messed up too bad just the radiator cracked and wheel bent. For weeks every night I would stay awake and just hate that it actually happened and I couldnt do anything about it. Oh well, live and learn: Dont show off! lol

theres no way in hell that is totaled

bumper cover, hood, fender pulling, headlight...fixed....i wrecked mine and it wasnt even totaled, and mines a 99 with 160k and already had a rebuilt title...it looks similar to that, but with frame damage also...my fender was ruined from me opening my door to get out of the car, it crushed the fender in, the passenger side fender was warped, bumper was destroyed, headlights destroyed, wheel well liners rubbed away, and the rear passenger side quarter was damaged also, along with one brake light and some rashes on my rear bumper...and my car is only worth half of book value as is because its a rebuilt title...and they still didnt total it

**the headligts busted too...those are my stockers i threw in it to drive it around to the bodyshop**

That sucks, i hate driving in the rain as well. Couple weeks ago when it rained i was getting on the freeway and the on ramp has a blind corner and right after the corner there's a one car per green light. I was coming around the corner and there was a couple cars waiting, wasn't going too fast and when i hit the brakes my fronts locked up on me and felt the car slide a bit. Little scary but didn't hit anyone or anything. ABS light comes on randomly on my car so my traction control turns off, think one of the speed sensors is out but i haven't fixed it yet.
