Yeah guys I wrecked my baby tonight, Man I`m just really pissed, Officer found me at fault because he said I failed to yield a light. This is what happened. I was turning right on the street and the turning light was switching over from yellow to red so my car turned and I was accelerating but since my car has faulty spark plugs car has been runing like **** and the acceleration is slugish so as I turned (car was at about 20* angle turning the cabby behind me was traveling at least 50 mph and didnt even bother slaming on the brakes,he hit me in front side bumper and my car literally flew over the curb into the pole and back. This is a terrible night. Car looks like a total loss and when I was pushing it to a parking lot the power steering column was messed up it had really hard time turning and serpentine belt flew of the engine and rested under the car. I`m going to my insurance tomorrow to report and let them do the estimate of the car and see what they say if its fixable or total loss. Good thing I got GAP insurance so hopefully they cover it. Yeah I know my insurance will probably skyrock,I`m 19 and currently I`m paying 170 for full coverage because the car is financed. I`m shaken up a bit,my back hurts a little and neck is sore. Heres some pics guys, this blows man and any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. My brothers phone wouldnt send pictures to emails so these are really ****ty shots so I`ll get some more tomorrow and post them up.

Damn dude, thats crazy. The cab driver was probably one of those "taxi cab confessions" driver. I'd be so hilarious if they show it on HBO with a couple doing something crazy and then the car just crashes....but not for you...sorry bro. Well hey, if the car is a total lost maybe you can get that cobra you always wanted.

not what you want to hear right now, but perhaps it can ligthhen the mood, but DAYAMN! you took pics of your bro's pics on his camera phone with YOUR camera phone??? GHET-TO!!!!! lmao!
The cabby is at fault. He ran a red light going at that speed. Yours was still yellow right? Therefore the oncoming traffic light would have been red. Looking at the pics, he sideswiped you. If I were you, I'd try to fight it in court.
Silver, it's too bad you aren't here in my area of California. I could fix your car good as new. I mean, I re-built my Ranger after I got in a wreck with an illegal immigrant. Looks like nothing happened to it. Now my sister drives it. And if I didn't think it was safe, I'd never let her drive it.

no offense but obviously none of you are reading what he said. he turned as his light turned red and the cabby had a green light, and he got hit. it wasn't the cabs fault it was his, he tried to run the light, which all of us have done rather than wait a minuted and then turn, and he got burned.
i feel bad for you man i really do, but the wreck was your fault.

That sucks man. If they do total it, buy it back from the insurance. You can fix that yourself, itll take some work but its fixable. else just part it out and make all the $$ back you put into it.
it doesnt look THAT bad. but you never know. my wreck was similar..a little worse but close to that. it was the front driverside that got most of the damage. well the wreck bent the frame and the airbags went off and those 2 things are what set it over the top and made it totaled.you never really know untill you get it looked at.
