Ouch! Im glad you guys are safe and sorry for your loss. Seriously? How fast were you going not to see that big white moving truck? Did you even touch the brakes?

That is no way to treat a lady and she gave herself up to take care of you. It appears to be a total loss and I would let the adjuster know that your preference is that she be totaled. The important thing is that you all are ok.

Glad you're okay. Your car is definitely totaled. My old ES was totaled from getting t-boned and it had less damage than that.

Damn that looks pretty bad. Glad you and the passengers are ok. You just had to hit the hardest piece of metal around lol just kidding. I'd say the car is totaled though. Like others have said, I would not want to get that fixed.

OMFG!

Yea that's done. Truck 1000000 Car 0

You must of had some worn out tires, going faster than 30, and turned traction control off to spin all the way around. Accidents happen to the best of us. Hopefully in the future you can remember this and not make that mistake again.

Glad you and the passengers are OK, the car is definitely a total loss. You have full coverage, so they should give you market value for the car. Good luck on next purchase.

Glad you're okay... that could've been much worse given those truck bars are very solid...

Car's a write-off, some body shop will buy to use the right side/rear cut and repair another one.

Just a question, did you have your trac and stability off? I find it is really hard to spin the car with it turned on, and even with it off it takes effort to get the tail to come out. Glad your ok though!
