I've seen plenty of pictures people here have posted of their mangled Camaros, but I never thought I would be one of them. I was driving to work today and some young girl not paying attention plowed into the Camaro. I was sitting at an intersection waiting to turn left and she rear ended me. She claims she had her cruise control on and was looking at something else momentarily, and then when she looked up and saw my car she panicked and hit the gas.
I don't know about any if that story, but I'd bet my life she was staring at her phone like nearly all teenagers I see. I don't know why anyone would have their cruise on in that situation. It was a winding country road full of potholes, right by a school bus lot, during the morning rush, and it was raining.
Her car was definitely totaled, not sure about mine. I wouldn't really want a car with this kind of damage repaired, but that is even more true since it's a convertible. These convertible tops are finicky enough even without serious body damage. There are witness marks on the quarters where both doors hit them. The witness marks are pretty long so it looks like the doors overlapped the quarters an inch or so during impact. So the convertible top frame certainly was sprung. I didn't know what to do at the moment so I had it towed to the nearest Chevy dealer and they didn't think it was totaled, but I don't trust that awful place. I had it towed to a reputable body shop and am waiting for the verdict.
What do you guys think? Totalled?
