Wow that looks really scary but glad you're ok.
Just for my own FYI, what did you do when you were being spun? I always wonder if there's something you should do (keep breaking, let go of breaks, something else) in a crash like that. I especially am paranoid now with a small car!

Also, I know you said you don't think you'll be selling it for parts, what about just the rear toyota logo badge? I want to try something with one, but want to have an extra one just incase I ruin one! (would pay of course)

Again, glad you were ok! A friend had a similar accident with his car spinning and landing/stopping really far away from where it started. Scary beyond words to me!

If your spin is like mine, you don't have time to do anything. I cannot remember the spin itself, just the "thump" of the impact and the slowing down of the spin on "landing" in the bushes. Considering how much plowing the nose did, I'm amazed that the front clip survived in perfect shape

Sorry to hear it is totaled. On the plus side.... used cars have been selling like wild and the insurance companies survery what used cars are being sold for. That is a good thing.

That does sound good. I'm still waiting to hear about $$, but should hopefully find out on Monday.

did you opt for GAP insurance when you bought the car? or was that even an option?

Oh, yeah. No way I was going to not take that option.
