Insurance companies dont like to total camaros because they hold their value too well, pretty careless way to have an accident, ofcourse that's what insurance does, makes people carleess because they dont have to pay for the damage, Another unforseen consequence of pointless government mandates.

Glad you walked away from this, but from the pic's, your camaro looks totaled.

Some people just don't even read the OP. And air bag deployment dosen't equal total loss.
If the trans flux inducers are damaged, that may be different.

If pulling out of a blind drive and a car comes around a curve and hits you, they could be at fault for travelling too fast for conditions.

Wow!

My goodness, you could have done the same damage to the mail box with a bat...the old fashioned way.

Glad your ok bro.... You will be up and running in no time. Which insurance company offered you insurance for your Mods?

upstater · 03-13-2013, 07:13 AM

You have even more to worry about now. Battered mailbox = Federal case now.

MichaelH · 03-13-2013, 09:04 AM

Holy crap either that other car is made out of a aluminum can or he was hauling ass down that road. Geez he's car is straight wrecked. Sorry OP, but don't be to surprised if your car gets totaled.

i doubt your car is totaled. I just got into an accident a few months ago. Both airbags deployd, shaddered winshield, bumper, fender, reinforcement, hood, radiator all crushed and my car got fixed. Damage was about $9000

One bonus is getting rid of the world's ugliest mailbox. Look at that thing.

Happy you are OK and writing about this.

Did the hood pop open during the accident? If so then the front end has been offset (bent). If that happened then the wheel mounts and engine mounts probably are as well.

The fenders and wheel wells are not that bad to have replaced with OEM parts.

Just to give some perspective, here is a pic of mine from 2-1/2 weeks ago. Total damage so far is $7000.00.
