My poor baby, yet another accident Options

Pictures now up

Go to MY MSN SITE for higher quality pics.

Well, I finally had misfortune with my Celica. She's totalled.
I was taking a left leaving a stop sign, with a van taking a right(without a stop sign) from my left onto the street I was on. She had her blinker on and was slowing down so I checked the other way and started to go. I didn't see anyone behind the van, but there was a motorcycle who got impatient and went to go around the van at the same time I pulled out. He hit me almost dead center in the front bumper causing the bumper, bumper support, and radiator to crack. I'll get pictures up ASAP(it happened 6/20 at about 5:45pm but I was with my g/f at the emergency room last night).
As for human injuries, the airbag burnt some hair on my arm and left a nasty rash, my girlfriend got some serious whiplash, but should be fine in a few days, and the kid(he was 16 on a 750cc Ninja ZXR) broke his ankle and got some roadrash on his legs and hands but is otherwise okay(nice helmet, great jacket, but he had on Birkenstock sandals and shorts).
I've already gotten almost everything out of the car, but they wouldn't let me take the stereo(Progressive said something about it costing me extra if it doesn't get to the place with everything intact, big load of BS).

Anyways, I don't have internet at my place at the moment, and won't be making it to Pigeon Forge this weekend(I even had new rubber coming in and was planning on changing the oil and tuning it up today). Like I said, I'll get pictures up ASAP, it's bad, but it could have been much worse. I may try to buy it back(another load of BS, why pay for something you already own), but then again I'm thinking I'll get something cheap for now and save up for a down payment on something nice later. Either way, I'll still be around and whatever I get it's going to be a Toyoda(old joke from the brake cap on the 80's Toys).

Sorry to hear about your car, but unless you have signed it over to the insurance company, it is still your car and I would remove evereything that did'nt come with the car including the stereo.Go find a stereo in a junkyard or on the buy/sell board here and set it in the dash.

Never let the insurance company control the situation, it's your car to do with as you like.
