the airbags alone are about 8K to replace. Your probably right at the crest of that 75%

How much for your G Spyder wheels if you are able to remove them?

Man that is rough and it should be delcared a total loss. It will never drive the same if it was able to be salvaged. That vehicle has massive frame damage let alon the drivetrain is probably negatively effected by the collision.

Yep, it's totaled. Sad to see you didn't get to enjoy your car long enough to let it go. Now it's time for a new car.

You nodded off?

Get some rest next time. And I hope that whatever you get to replace the IS, you stay safe and healthy.

I'm glad that you're o.k. Just let insurance total the car...

We should do a poll. Something along the lines of "If you have had an accident with more than $10k of damage, what is your age?". I'd suspect we would get an overwhelming proportion of less than 20 - 25 yo drivers.

It's sitting at a towyard, and I can't remove anything attached to the car.

Yea, my sleep schedule has been messed up because of finals week where became nocturnal because I was napping during the day and staying up at night. I didn't get a nap during this day because I had to attend the graduation ceremony. I was already really tired but I went out to celebrate anyway. Long story short, nodded off while driving home, and my graduation present lasted until graduation night.

I'm 21, and it was my first accident. Cop didn't believe me though. He figured I was about 18.

I really like the 2IS. If it's totaled, I figure I'll get another one if I can find one. Although, I had thought about downgrading to a 250 because for the gas mileage and cheaper insurance. I don't really know what else I would get for around the same amount of money. 3 series? G35? A4?

Man, you guys are some cannibalizing son'sa'b*tches.

Like a scene from a bad western movie.

"Jimbo, my horse just broke it's leg!"
"Time to put her down, Timmy."
"I know, I know."

*Jimbo pulls out large knife*

"I'mma get me some leg meat, hurry up and shoot her sorry, lame ***!"

People got to eat.

GET THE Wooden WINDOW SWITCHES(use a flathead screwdriver wrapped in rubber tape). I will pay $100+shipping for the 4 of them. I am sure no one will notice them missing.

looks pretty bad....once the air bags are deployed, and the inner frame is bent, its considered total. Sorry for the lost.
