Nook,
Sorry to hear about this, to echo others glad nobody was hurt.

I had the body shop at a nearby Toyota dealer look at the car. While in the office (before looking at the car) I was told that forcing open the driver's door enough to get out would dent the door, but I could then use it as designed. Once they looked at it...opinion changed. I was told the door would be stuck open if I forced it open enough to be able to get in and out. I'm okay with getting out the passenger side while I milk more miles out of the car....I just want to make sure the accident didn't do anything to make driving it unsafe. Next week I'm going to have the local shop I trust (did my control arm bolt, blew the dust out of my brakes, replaced the serp belt, etc.....and always fantastic re what they charge me) look at the car up on a lift and otherwise. If the car is okay, at some point I might get a written estimate from a body shop and see how cheaply I could buy the parts from eBay or Craigslist...not concerned re aesthetics...just would look to get door functionality back if cheap enough. All of the lights/signals currently function properly.
