Default New Body Kit Made by Chevy!

So what happens when your best friends lifted truck is sitting behind you and he is texting his girlfriend and someone honks at him?

..O he gets startled and throttles it into his best friend

There is glass everywhere and apparently from what the insurance company says it looks like it is totaled but will know more monday
It doesnt look too horrible (yea right) but apparently there may be frame damage.
Now I have a horrible headache and glass crap everywhere
He only hit me at 10 max and all he got was white scion dust on his light rail.

^What I was saying but the guy was saying the cambers are bent and that scions are worthless to their insurance company and basically if its more than 5-6 they are just going to total it

If my car ever got in to a wreck, it better be totaled. I don't want to deal with reduced resale cost and possible future mechanical problems. cross your finger and hope they consider it totaled.

You were rear ended, they arent supposed to come out in a rear end collision, they would have just hurt you more.

Sorry the car got mashed up. Tell your friend to stop talking on the phone while operating a car.. stupid thing to do. If the unibody is tweaked (And I am guessing so since the sunroof buckled and broke) you may be totalled.

And nothing wrong with lifted trucks if they are done right and done safely (not monster truck height.. that even sucks for off road use). If I make the 4Runner more of a trail vehicle later on, it will be lifted a tad itself.

^I kind of hope its totaled but dont...
If its totaled

I know there will be a crap load of problems if it isnt later due to its gotten hit from front and rear now

I also love my tc and dont want to lose it

The money they also will give us will probably just pay off the car
