Default Totaled the Z *NEW PICS*

Was comming back home from wal-mart at about 55mph around a small curve and hit a patch of ice and that was all she wrote. Car spun sideways hit a culbert and whent airborne and landed about 4 feet down in the ditch. Front driver wheel snapped off like half the rim is still attached. no air bags deployed. The cop said the car was totaled but the insurance adjuster would have to decide that. Sucks real bad, Gonna have some pics tommorrow when i get the cable from my mom.

Oh man that must have sucked. Very Sorry to hear about your accident. Good thing you walked away with all your fingers and toes intact. I can't believe that wheel broke off the hub like that. If the airbags had went off then it's definitely totaled.

I know it's horrible, but you will get back on the road and it will not seem so bad as no one got hurt , ice happens.

I can only imagine the amount of force needed to snap the rim like that, seems as though you had a guardian Angel on your shoulder to walk away w/o injury... Cars can always be replaced, glad to hear you are ok !

Man I'm so sorry So what are you gonna do now? Stay with the Z or look for something else? It looks like it did a decent job of protecting you.

I'm sorry to see that and glad that you're still alive.
I hope they total it, because I've had similar damage(not as severe)
and the damage came out to be $12,000.
If your airbags deployed then I would say they'll definitely consider it totaled.
