Alright, long story short, the Corrado is seemingly totalled after a quick run in with a tree. The whole right front end is toast and yeah, the motor went through the hood again.

I got carted away to the hospital and someone towed the car (hope they didn't scratch up the car), so I didn't have a great chance to examine the remains, but the motor looks to be in useable shape and i suspect the tranny is damaged from the drivetrain shock but hopefully it could be rebuilt. Everything else looks in tact, but what do I know. I was still dazed.

So, I'm at a crossroads. Depending on how the insurance company deals with it, I may be able to get enough to pay off the rest of the loan. At which point, I will either do a transplant to a clean shell and piece together whatever is needed. Other options I'd consider include another A2 (git or jetta), but I may just claim a certain MB I've been trying to sell and wait a while to decide on a new dub.

Anyways, I'll likely go to the tow yard tomorrow and see the remains and take what stuff I had in the car with me. In the mean time, send any/all hot nurses my way, I exaggerate a little


EDIT: pics of the carnage...

Patrick... coming from someone who was lucky to survive a head on collision about a 3 years ago, the most important thing is you're going to be ok. I lost my gorgeous '91 318is, but it saved my life. ;) Sorry to hear about your accident - AB

yeah, definitely happy about that. the corrado more than did it's job keeping me safe. i'll post pics tomorrow sometime, but suffice it to say that the cabin is still pristine despite the impact. i'd like to see a "practical" car do that. alas...must find new money pit!
