Default Crashed into today

Traffic was stopped. I look in my rearview to watch a minivan cut its wheel at the last second and clip me doing 35-40. I bumped the car in front of me.
Heres the damage:





Guy got a ticket for following too closely. My car is likely totalled. I have a fractured left wrist where my arm got caught in the steering column. Guy said he slammed into me because he was trying to keep a jar of BBQ sauce from spilling.

My car starts, sputters, then dies. I need to get the wheels/tires and sub out after I find which impound lot its at. So much for my lil sixer-but hey, I can buy another car, cant buy another life.

that doesnt necessarily look totalled from what i can tell unless the bags are popped (if the bags are out thats an automatic total).

the sub you can remove, but if the car is totalled the wheels and tires you will be charged for if you take them and do not put some form of replacements on, atleast thats how every car i've had worked. if you take the wheels just go to pick and pull and get 4 donuts or something.

glad your ok for the most part.

Thanks guys. The bags didnt pop, but the dash is all popped out of whack. Mom says insurance would only shell out like 3k. And I think it would take more than that to fix all that......

Where could i get 4 donuts?
