Once again someone hit me. She got ticketed for failure to yield.

Was heading straight down the road, and next thing I know a car is coming right at me from the left. Turns out she came directly into traffic, instead of yielding into the median, which my car was traversing. I attempted to dodge her, but deflected off her front passenger side into the curb which then launched my car 3 feet in the air, according to witnesses, and landing in the bike lane.

I got the lasting image of myself grasping the steering wheel and looking at the sky as my last image before it slammed to the ground.

Neck, back hurts. Not sure of condition of car, but pictures do not show all the damage.

I don't know what to do now. I just got my 3s, and I know they'll try to salvage it again. Will have to inspect the damage later on. Bad time for a wreck, on holiday weekends, no answers til the 3rd.

I've invested so much in her, and had so many plans...but people won't stop hitting me. Its scaring me out of further investments due to the value of the car.

BTW, it was a brand new 2012 volks passat that hit me. Those new ones are huge, and hit like a tank...barely any damage to her car.

That MR2 shell is nice! But I think I'm going to stay in the 6gc if I can find another.

Settled with the insurance this morning. Adjuster ended up favoring celica's, though he liked the 5th gen more, he was a tuner that felt the pain.

No work to the title, or any salvage fees paid.

He gave me the max value, plus 300 for some time off work. Check cut for 2400, which should be plenty for me to find another, as well anything I can part out of the current one. Its a very fair deal considering I was already on a salvage title, I believe the motivator was he didn't want to do all the paperwork involved to title and transfer here in FL. He even mentioned the hassle. Plus I get to keep everything from the old one, which was the selling point for me.

So expect a FS part out thread soon on the old cellie, going to hurt taking her apart, but I know there is light at the end of this tunnel now.

I was almost sure they were going to screw me, but that would be my negative side! My apologies to the lizard.
