'Nother Celi Down, Updated with Pics Options

[ZacMan1987]

Well,
Chalk me up on the list. I was picking up a friend from Hartsfield and was almost back to Rome Georgia with her, stopped to eat and get gas, and while trying to turn left, didn't look properly and got beaned by a Dodge Ram. Pics to come when the car gets back in town. My prelim guess is that it's totaled, but that'll be up to somebody else to decide.

The car behaved like a champ. Protected everybody even though it spun a full 180 degrees from the hit. Plus, it spun fast enough to come around and tag the truck in his rear fender too, so it was pretty rough all in all. No injuries of any kind. I cut my hand trying to open the hood and get a look at the engine bay, but that was a no-go. No air bag deployment, no obvious fluid leakage. Some smoke coming through the dash. No fire. All I have of her for the time being is what's left of a headlight casing. They wern't projectors.

Thanks for all of your help and support 6GC. Unless the car is determined to be fixable, I'll be getting out of the Celica market for a good long while. Being 18, this is going to do wonders for my insurance, so I'm not going to be able to justify another Celica.
