    Re: well i got into a wreck

    Sorry to hear about your wreck but how can that car be totaled?
    Am I missing some dents in the roof or something? I see no indications of frame damage. That is easily fixed.

    It doesn't look like a total from the pic.It depends on the value of the car though.

    Re: well i got into a wreck

    It doesn't look like a wreck, but just a minor sideswipe. If an '88 marquis had hit that car head on the car would be destroyed. Hopefully you are adequately insured. That is quite fixable. It's always upsetting to have accident damage on a nice car, especially if the car isn't paid for yet.

    LOL, wow... are you serious? I thought this was a joke at first. That car doesnt look any worse than my car! Couple of dings that can be popped out.

    Re: well i got into a wreck

    The wheel looks dented in to me? Could be a lot more internal issues

    Re: well i got into a wreck

    Yeah if you drove it away and it wasnt leaking any fluid it isnt totalled. Last year, 2100 in the evening cold and rainy and entered the highway on the way home and some total A** in a Ram SXT or something or other riding my tail all the way down the ramp decides to pass me before the highway...needless to say at 60mph he clipped me on the way around and sent me spinning/ hydroplaning, struggled for control for a min and then around came the back end across 3 lanes and head first (glancing) into the cement divider.... I drove mine to the side of the highway to where he was sitting and his truck was totalled he went up the embankment and hit the sound proofing wall and then rolled it 4-5 times
    Drove mine for a couple of months like that until I had time to get it in the shop for the repairs

    Re: well i got into a wreck

    From looking at the pics, it looks like the rear wheel is off-set which could be due to damage to the rear axle. If it is, they will total the the car. Thankfully you didn't get hurt!
    Best of luck!

    Re: well i got into a wreck

    Ya definitely looks like the camber is way off on the rear wheel. That could mean a broken axel or suspension and that could potentially cost a lot to fix. Good luck with getting everything worked out.
