Default my tc may be finished...



can any1 tell if its going to be a total loss???









it looks bad but there was no injuries.. my car took the slams sooooo well.. i did not get jerked around or anything..

how did it happen??
well i was drving on the fast lane yesterday and out of nowere this SUV to the right of me makes this hard turn in to my lane so my first reaction was to avoid it so i made a hard turn in to the carpool lane and lost control.. i tryed to regain control but it just made it worse,, i managed to get in front of the SUV so it hit me in the back and sent me spining in to oncoming traffic and then i just see this BIG city dump truck coming to me and smashes in to the front and sends me spining the other way and then it finaly stoped in the middle of the freeway with me facing the median.. it was pretty crazy for my first real accident..

i dont care what any1 says the tC took the hits super well.. i did not realy feel the impacts when they happend it just felt like i was doing realy hard turns.. im not even soar today and every1 was tellin me i was going to feel it today.. haha

when the chp officer got there he was geting my info and started teling me how good the little things i have on my car looked and started asking me all these things about scions and things like that.. and i eneded up inviting him to our show coming up on oct 5th hahaha hes like "is it a family friendly show?" i was like yea then hes like cool i have weekends in october off im gona go check it out.. hahaha

I hate when people do crazy crap like that. Its aggravating especially if you had alot of work done to your car.
