And another one bites the dust.... - Toyota Yaris Forums

So my Yaris got wrecked today. I was driving to class, and some guy tried to make a left across 3 lanes of traffic without looking. Caught me in the right rear quarter and spun me into another car. Bent the rim, passenger door won't open, huge dent in the side, front bumper cover came off of the car, busted all of those clips, busted the clips on the passenger headlight and smashed a whole bunch of plastic. I've had her for barely five months, 4600 miles and this. My first new car, too.

Pictures of the carnage:

Anyone had a similar accident? What's the word on the unibody holding up to side impact wrecks? Its at the body shop now, I should have an estimate by tuesday. The other guy was at fault so insurance will cover it, no matter what they decide to do.

Edit: Also, I wouldn't recommend driving above 45MPH without a bumper cover. But hey, I had to get to class.
