Default Welp... i think she's a gonner

Well the wife got into an accident on Monday ...I just havent had time to take any pics till this weekend. Waiting on the insurance Co. to come out and look at it.

Story goes wife was sitting at a red light. Light turned green, she proceded throgh the intersection and some middle 40's soccer mom barreled through the red light the other way and smacked into her. I have only had this car for 6 months.

I'm sorry for the accident but you think with that much damage it is totaled? looks like it is drivable.

With the radiator core support shifted that far, it probably is totaled by insurance standard, i.e. will cost more than 80% of the vehicles value to repair.

They "totaled" my Civic with less damage than that, and I still drive it everyday.

good thing the insurance never came to look at my car. you should still see the radiator support even after i straightened it out(with a tree and rachet tie-down)

glad your wife is okay.

Actually it is driveable but the frame rail is bent over and the front apron by the intake is a mess... Its a 96 with over 100k so by insurance standards it probably is gonna be totalled. I really hope its not. This is a good runing comfortable daily driver and its not in bad shape at all.

If that is the case you are lucky. I would buy it back from the insurance company. Then fix it.

thats what i would like to do if the insurance Co. goes that way with it. I used to paint and do minor body work so i have sconnections to get this fixed pretty inexpensively.

but i am thinking positively and maybe they will fix her back to looking good again.
