My wife's morning commute didn't turn out too well after the driver of a Chevy pickup decided to pay attention to four guys stuffed in a Civic on the way to work who inadvertantly decided to careen of the highway heading westbound adjacent to the RBC Center on 40.
She took everything pretty well and isn't injured so that's the most important thing, especially since we are expecting our first child in early November.
Anyhow, we're both really bummed but thankful that no one's seriously injured.
In the meantime here's the carnage
The car is at Kenny Hawkins now and I'm just waiting to hear the verdict on what we're going to do. My primary concern is whether on not it's a total loss. It's an '03 5MT with a LSD and 45k miles, in great shape until about 8:30 this morning...
There's a significant crease in the rear passenger quarter panel above the wheelwheel, so there may be some serious unibody damage, but I'm certainly no expert. They'll be letting me know the severity this afternoon when they get a few things torn away.
Anyone else been stuck in this dilemma before? In college my '95 Eclipse was totalled just like this, but I was happy to get a check for book value at the time. This time, I don't feel too excited about that idea.
