OOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhh no! oh man, that is definitely TOTALLY sad

I hope you're not badly hurt your self; call / PM me if you need my help at all.

That's at Moscrop and Willingdon, I'm at that intersection a lot, I'm certainly going to be more on guard there now.

first and foremost, thank goodness you and the other parties involved are safe. it does appear to be a total loss, but even if the car was able to be repaired, the scarring of an accident that devastating might have forced you to get rid of it anyway. hopefully you can find a new ride soon. its unfortunate to have this happen to anyone, but the severity of the damages are a real eye opener. best of luck!

thanx guys.

yeah i was making a left turn from willingdon onto moscrop. i drive relatively granny, you kinda have to on vancouver roads with 20in rims. i seriously only remember glancing at the tacoma, then at a minivan making a right from the opposite direction. i am for sure the tacoma was speeding down that road, its the end of a big hill, and everyone guns down that hill. his airbags went off, i donno if my side curtain airbags did though.

so far my right hand is cut and bruised from the glass, my left shoulder/pitt area is bruised and sore, and the left side of my neck is stiff n sore, hence why im up at 5am. not so much pain, but enough of an annoyance to get me up this early.

May not appear that this will be recoverable. It appears that there is frame damage around the roof where the front door is. So sorry to see this SorrGwa . This one was one of the cleanest of GS' here on the forums. Continue to rest and take it day by day. Good luck man!

sigh, yeah, i sent the pics to a bunch of friends in the autobody business and they all say the same thing, the frame damage is the deciding factor...

im gonna ask to have my car towed to speed syndicate to have the guys there to put back to stock.


Quick Reply: I got T boned.... i dont think the GS is recoverable.
