Default The lexus is totaled!!!!!

Last friday I was heading to work and some dumb girl ran a stop sign. This is the result. My adjuster said that they are going to total the car!!! This car had only 135,000 miles and ran like a dream!!!! I freakin hate women drivers, she didn't even apologize!!!!!

The frame is bent, the mounting for the fender is bent and the radiator is busted and the wheels are screwed up. They said the fixing would be more than the value of the car!

Noone got hurt and we ended up in oncoming traffic after I hit the curb a couple of times. Suprised the girls kids didn't get hurt. 5 of them in a new galant and no carseats, just a seatbelt.

The wheels got scraped pretty badly on the passenger side and the adjuster said that too much material was taken off the wheel on the drivers side.
