Man down, man down....
Welp, she's been with me for almost 11 years, and she's been one hell of a car (minus the blown HG, but she still drove), but the infamous texting while driving has claimed yet another. I was just about to store her and do a 2JZ-GTE conversion, then I get a call at work that a lady who wasn't paying attention, slammed into the back of her in a godawful Leaf, while texting. Still waiting to get the word back on the damages, but it doesn't look/sound good. At first I was thinking "thank god it wasn't my new GS!" Then after thinking about it, this is almost worse First car, and hopefully I can salvage her. Anyways, just a reminder to keep your eyes on the road at all times, gang!

Take any and all receipts for permanent changes and bring them to your insurance adjustor. Worst that can happen is that you add to the totaled value. This is so upsetting, OP. This is how I lost my last car: a clueless kid texting while driving and crashing into my rear at 25mph or more while I was stopped. Idiots. There do need to be more severe consequences for people who cause an accident while texting. We now have OEM and aftermarket car receivers that can connect to phones and allow voice control. There is no excuse for this. I hope you can save the car from being totaled and get a used quarter welded in.
And as mentioned above, you could have been inside the car when this happened.

Sorry to hear about it! Hopefully you come back to another
Other driver must of been going 30-40mph because that damage looks similar to my old SC except mine was right down the middle of the rear. And yup pretty sure that person was texting and driving aswell.

Man I'm sorry to see another clean one go, I hope you're ok, if you're not ok, call your attorney and go to the doctor for every little abnormality your health health pattern and pains. Go to physical therapy, get as many medical bills as you can, finance them for a long term and present every medical bill to your attorney from your doc and get paid when you win the case( most want to settle within 12 months!!!), because you were hit from the back it's automatically fault of the driver of the electric piece of **** slow car
Ps don't take a $300 from front her or his ins company and don't sign anything, but attorneys paperwork.
Good luck to you my sc brother!!!

trying to gather up as much as I can! Might pull the Tein CS-T's out, as well as the RMM axleback exhaust, then sell it off (if it's totaled). Hope to save her though.
