I had a crash similar to that and it was completely repaired. Yours does look a bit more intense though... Good luck regardless!

I don't recall reading of any female drivers on this forum rolling their car into a ditch while speeding, but a young man sure did.

I don't recall reading of any female drivers on this forum getting a ticket while racing a Celica on public streets, but a young man sure did.

I could go on but I'm sure you see what I'm getting at. There is a reason that car insurance is cheaper for women than it is for men. As such I'm not sure what the point of your inflammatory question is.

Seriously, are you so wrapped up in hypermiling that you don't even see an obvious attempt at humor?!? You really need to get out more...

Try watching a few episodes of Tosh.0, maybe then you'll get a better understanding of sarcasm...

Tosh.O rocks!
But like someone said the deployed airbag will most likely cause it to be totaled out.

A fine example of being trolled. Well played sir.

Oh, and with out more pics, it's not possible to see the full extent of the damage. Salvageable or not will depend on how much damage was done to the structure of the car. Talk to a reputable auto body shop. Sorry about your car though.

The poor thing needs to be put down.

On the other hand, I had a Ford Escort that was considered totaled [$7500.00 rear-end damage], but I insisted they fix it...drove and looked like it did before it got wrecked...no, actually looked better after it was repaired.

If they do try to salvage it, I'd say no and fight like hell for a new replacement. Nothing sucks worse than having a new car that got into an accident and then repaired...but it still doesn't feel 100% like it did when brand new.
