Few pics of the damage. Doesn't look that bad, but once they opened it up and had it on a hoist the total ran up to $25k pretty fast and the repairs would of taken 6 weeks to finish. Insurance co would either total it or allow the repair. Given the floorpan and inner door frame structure damage, I elected for them to total it.
Note the funny angle of the passenger side rear wheel....

I was in the far left lane going about 35mph on a four lane one way street and driver in the right lane next to me decided to turn left with no signal nor without clearing (obviously).  Turned right into me, hit both doors on the passenger side, broke the rear passenger side suspension/wheel which punctured the floor, then pushed me over the curb and sidewalk into a light post that crushed the driver side rear door just forward of the rear wheel, bent the inner door frame structure and floorpan.
Needless to say my loaded, perfect Monaco Blue/Beige Nappa 4.8i with only 14k miles on it is now salvage. 
I have some iphone pics that I'll try to post. |
