Goodbye Celica, I was involved in a crash the other day..... Options

Well, I'd just like to start by saying what a brilliant car the Celica is. I've enjoyed every minute of ownership over the last 3 years. I'm sorry to say though that my days with my Celica are numbered!

I had a crash the other night on the way home from work. Some guy in front of me was riding his brakes like an old woman, dropping his anchors every five minutes. Eventually we ended up in a queue (a line for our american friends) of traffic at a set of traffic lights. I noticed that the lane to my left was empty and as I needed to be in that lane further down the road, I decided to move over to the left as soon as I got through the lights. Once the traffic started moving, I checked my left hand mirror and checked over my shoulder to make sure there was nothing in my blind spot. As the lane was clear, I indicated and began to pull over. At that precise moment, they guy in front of me performs an emergency stop, can anybody guess what happened next??

I look back ahead to see this fool standing on his anchors, I do the same but it's too late. Wiped out my driver's headlight, R/H wing (fender) , bonnet (hood) and front end (on the R/H corner).

I've spoken to the insurance and they've indicated that the car "sounds like a total loss" due to it's age and the cost to repair it. Worse still, as I ran into the back of someone, liability for the accident lands squarely in my court, so I can look forward to astronomical insurance premiums next year, whoopie-doo!!

Anyway, if you're reading this, thanks for your time and listening to my rant!

If anyone has read this and feels simpathetic to my cause, I need the following items:-

1 Right Hand Wing
1 Right Hand Driver's Headlight
1 Bonnet
1 Front end.

LOL

(Just kidding)
