    Yesterday the skittle was rear ended by a girl in her early twenties driving a 06 GC larado

    her car was just high enough to clear my rear crashbar and smashed my trunk floor, top bumper, lights, quarter pannels, and trunk all the way to the window.

    she hit me doing atleast 40, there were 4 cars infront of me at the green light waiting for people to cross to make out turn.

    i have pics but i'll throw them up when i get the chance im still doing insurance crap. the damaged sections, year of the car, and milage from what the claimes guy told me that it would most likely exceed the cars value and would probally be totaled.

    I'll keep you guys updated.

    Oh jees... sounds like you're ok though?

    Might have been a good thing it missed the bumper? Square on the bumper would have caused frame damage? Trunk and sheet metal make a good (and maybe cheaper) crush zone. What I'm think is that if they total it you might be able to buy it back, fix it, and come out almost even. What you would save is all the mods you have in it that wouldn't be included in the totaled price.

    Holy crap! Still warm and everything... (gone in 60 seconds).
    If you buy it back are they going to give your parts back?

    ive test driven a bread box and no i would never buy one, a PT handles so much better sorry. there no comparason between the two in the handling department. Paulas PT is still on stock suspention and stock 17x6s



    hey guys an update they finally took the car and it was sad to see it go but ill have to wait till monday to hear what they say. im gonna try and keep them from totaling it if possible. that skittle has too much of a racing history to just let it go.
