Default Car got hit! :( (pics included)

Well a week after things start looking up this happens .

I was stopped at a redlight, in the right turn lane just chilling there behind a honda civic. It was soooo hot out and I had a polo shirt, a tshirt and a wife beater on, so I unbuckled my belt to take my shirts off. Next thing I know, im the car is standing still and everythings all quiet.

I just put my shirts back on and I get out of the car and im all woozy. My head and teeth hurt.

There was a big chevy truck that just barrled into the car. We talked for a minute, and then the honda civic that was in front of me comes back and his rear bumper is all messed up. Well the po pos come and filed a report, but I dont know what to do now. Are they going to total my car? I dont think this is going to be an easy fix. What do you think? The car was smashed like a turbo sandwich between the 2 cars. Theres ripples all down the fenders and the doors. The rear quarters are all creased.

Oh snap. I doubt it will get totaled, as long as the engine and transmission are fine. Is it still drivable?

Yup, that car is a gonner. Sorry about your luck. Make sure you get to a doctor and get checked over to make sure that YOU are alright.

That sucker is gone!
Damn Rock, you have got some bad luck, man. I'm sorry about the car.
Look on the bright side...you get to buy another turbo with the insurance settlement. just make sure you get as much as you can out of those suckers!
And what Doc said...he should know...he's a Doc.

Yea, I think the car is totaled. Your frame must be bent with that kind of an impact.

Take the amount they give you for totaling the car, buy it back at auction and try to salvage or part what is left.

When the insurance company totals the car, they will have a buy back price. You can take your insurance buy out less the buy back price if you want to part it out.

wow. seriously......i have some bad luck. i have really really bad luck. before, all the other crap that happened to your cars COULD have, and most likely were thought to be your fault......but there really is no denying it man. you seriously i think have the worst luck out of anyone that ive ever had any type of link to....even though we just post on the same forum. i feel really bad, but i envy you if you are staying positive about it. not sure how old your paint post was, but i just looked it over maybe 2-3 days ago, and this is really sad to see this happen to you. do you think you would get another after all of this?
