damnn TOD thats wicked.. but i think ur alright i don't think its totalled out.. i imagined worse..... i think ur car will be repaired and good to go cheif.. But on the lighter side sorta... you can now show me how to mount my gauge pod showing that the whole thing pops out.. i may need to get an AIT pod. But im pretty sure its repairable.. u should be alright ur seats are gonna be expensive!!!

You shoulda seen my first car.. i busted it all 360... and the air bags didn't go at all.. lol and still was repairable.. even though we scrapped it out.. pretty much looked like an Accordion.

Believe it or not, you could probably put an a-pillar gauge pod in, just don't attach it at the top...one of the first things I noticed actually. Just after the impact, I was like "Ouch...oh, I could've probably put a gauge pod in!"

A medium ouch.

Dunno...when I checked it out this afternoon, the b-pillar is pretty bent up. Can't even fit my hand between the seat, and the seat won't move, though this may be something with the airbag deployment. We'll see. Trish and I are definitely up for something tomorrow night, though...I need to get out.

Tod, if you need anything, I'll be in the area. Are you getting a rental or have any other means of transport while you wait this process out?

I forgot the shop name but I did recommend him going to bombka since I even showed him his line of cars lol. My friend's car is finished and it looks as if there wasn't even an accident on his passenger side.

Thanks Jerry, Jim, and Vince! I'm hoping they don't total it out, but I won't find out until next week when they check it out. Though if I find out that they are totalling it, I don't know how they work all the extra parts t hat I've put on it - most are TRD options that can be done at the dealer (shocks, springs, shifter, S/C, etc)...I know it blue books out at 19K in good condition without all the extras...but I don't want to jump to conclusions.

I'll need to get a rental for a few days, most likely the cheapest I can find. And I pray not another Corolla...

Hey, is your car parked up at Sloane in Glenside? I work for our Champion branch in Northeast Philly and I had to go up there today and saw the car. My girlfriends car doesn't have side-curtain airbags but it got hit at the exact same spot last tuesday and they're fixing it. The worst part is that all of her x-mas gifts were for her car so I had to do like a last minute rush for presents. I hope they fix your car though, she won't get hers back for about 2 weeks.

Yeah, that's me. I live up the street, and I've heard excellent things about their collision service.

I wish the tC was available from the factory with the 5 Axis kit...I'd try to work that in there.

My girlfriend's car is getting a few upgrades while it's in the shop, but it's still a pain because she's driving (and beating the crap out of) my tc while we're waiting to get it back
