this was about 745 this morning trying to merge onto the highway and the lady infront of me merged too slow, got cut off and locked up her brakes, i was checking my blindspot to merge and when i turned around...BAM!please no s*** talking, been a bad enough daypinched in my battery n pushed it into the tire

so it looks like a condenser, radiator support, cold pipe, headlights and body parts, no bends in the frame so i dont think insurance will call it totaled

No need to s*** talk, you didn't make a story up. Sucks I used to live in Ft Lauderdale too. I would have helped out. Looks bad, tear it down and take some better pics.

Oh and if your covered its a total loss. My guess is that that estimate is going to be around 5-7 K and the car on paper maybe worth 2500-3500. Tear it down, get the front pulled out and a new core then do the body panels yourself and get it painted.

That almost made me cry, the page loaded before the pictures and scared me. My heart goes out to you dude, I don't know what I would do if that happened to my car. Even though it was an accident you can't get money out of it cus you rear ended her right?

Ahh shame about the S14 friend, really seeing an S14 bite the dust like this a terrible thing.

Doesnt look like its totaled just yet, this could be a good excuse to go S15.4?

even though the damage isn't structural they could still easily total it. they don't look at what the damage is but instead the cost of the damage. if they determine the car to be worth $3k and they estimate it'll cost $4k to fix they'll total it. my s13 was totaled over a fender, bumper, hood and headlight cover

It's definitely totaled, although still depends on what insurance you have.

Did you forget how to merge? there is a yield sign most of the time. You have to slow down sometimes! Your the one merging, not the one in possession of the lane. Sometimes yielding to moving traffic means slowing down a lot or even stopping.

This sucks so bad, I used to live in clearwater drivers in FL are pretty bad. It looks like you can save it as long as the frame is in intact. I would slowly do a s15 front end. You need a radiator support anyways. You will pay a bit out of pocket but I think it would be worth it. Not my money though.Either way good luck man.

The majority of insurance companies will total a car if they deem the damage to be even HALF of what the car is worth. Ask how I know...

You hate me don't you, Im talking SLOW like ppl who merge at 40 miles per hour when the traffics traveling at speed of 70+ in the slow lane. The traffic on the freeway are also notified of merging traffic there are signs everywhere at every merge. Where i live everyone on the free way wants to go 85, maniacs man. on top of that when your driving on the freeway you don't accelerate to cut someone off merging, if your able you should change lanes. even if there traveling at 40 mph and even though your NOT REQUIRED to slow down or move for merging traffic. everyone supposed to drive defensively. Driving like the guy who kept his pace and cut off the person in front of 240s-sex that causes accidents. thus above^ but its partially her fault for not merging at equal speed.
