According to www.insurance.com:
When is a damaged car considered a total loss?
Your insurance company may decide your damaged car is a total loss if:

1. It cannot be repaired safely
2. It would cost more to repair the car than it's worth, or
3. State laws require the company to call it a total loss due to the amount of damage

The other guy was trying to make a left turn at a T intersection (basically turning left into the | of the T), but he stopped when he saw my car heading straight while he had his front end of his car in my lane. I was going about 35 miles an hour (yes... speed limit was 35) and only had about 2 car length to react and break when he was in front of me. Then BAM! Now some of you might be thinking, why didn't you just swerve out the way? Well if I attempt to swerve out the way, I would have hit another car on the right and that would DEFINITELY have been my fault.

It was his fault because I had the right of way. He was driving a Ford F150 and his front bumper only got a small dent. The driver was hispanic and didn't have a drivers license (unlicensed.... no wonder right?). The F150 car has Anchor General Insurance... look it up on google cause it has hella bad reviews.

Well at least in the end, nothing major happened to me or anyone else thank god. I only have minor bruises on my right wrist and scratches my left forearm. I think they were from the horn thing on our steering wheel when the airbag deployed.

As for fixing the car, the cost of repair will be wwaaayyy more than the car's value so I'm thinking of just letting them take the whole car but of course I'll part it.

This is what I have in mind right now
Option A, buy another 6gc and put all the mods I currently have onto that car
Option B, save up and buy the 7th gen celica Gt-s
Option C, save up and buy the rare SW20 Mr-2

What would you guys do?

What would you guys do?

I would personally do this. Did you love driving your celica?LOVE,not like. If you did i would buy another 6gc,as they are DIRT cheap in California and you already know the car pretty well and know how it drive/feels. If you decide to go with A then maybe some weekend we can set something up and i can come down and help you take some major parts off (Engine,suspension,dash ect)to part off and sell(just pay my gas roundtrip)

I am thinking of doing A. I already took most of my aftermarket parts off and put back the OEM parts. My only concern right now is my struts with Tein's springs because I have no other struts in place of it. If they take my car, the tein's are going with them and that would be a total waste!! If any of guys are running on stock suspension (strut, springs, and shocks), you could come by and swap yours with mine and don't have to worry about compressing the spring and all that difficult steps of springs. I don't want the teins to go to waste
