Well, I have a feeling that the damage we are talking about in this post is a lot worse. I know mine was!!! I had no trunk left!

The damage on my car is a lot worse, the trunk is pushed right up to the rear window. The car sort of looks like a dirt tracker from behind because you can see the entire tread of both rear tires. Insurance adjuster is going to call Wed or Thursday with the news. I looked at some other cars yesterday and came to the conclusion: I want my SVT back. Although the Saab 93 was interesting.

I wasn't trying to say that mine was as bad as yours. I was just giving you a comparison. My frame was bent a little, but not enough to consider it totalled. They straightened it. It seems to be OK. If yours is that bad, I would guess that the frame would be bent too much for them to fix. I am by no means a mechanic, but I am judging by my experience. Again, sorry to hear about your misfortune. It really sucks.
Good Luck.

No worries I wasn't trying to "out crash" you. I appreciate your experience and photos. If your damage was $8000 US then I think my car may be a write off.

Exactly - that was my point as well. If your damage was $8000, I can only imagine a car that has no trunk left, some suspension damage etc... No one wants to out crash anyone, I guarantee wink
