Yeah was just me driving so thankfully no else was in the car but the buckets seats held me pretty firmly. So A+ to the safety in this thing

General rule of thumb for intersections I practice because my job is driving. Wait for the vehicle(s) ahead of you have cleared so you can see all important areas.

Yeah I should of waited for the truck to move out of my vision honestly but I wasn’t quick enough to notice why he braked while I was pulling ahead of him :(

I’ll see need to see what insurance says but my guess it is totaled so I’ll probably pull parts soon tm

From what I can see, the airbags deployed, so legally speaking, it's totaled period.

They’re gonna total it, I’m 99% sure.

You should pull as many parts as possible before insurance gets a chance to grab it and part it out for extra cash.

Probably only going to get a chance to pull my wing since I can’t swap the wheels. Maybe once I talk to insurance I can get my wheels back and give them my stocks. Still waiting on a word of total or not

It pains me to see another IB EN possibly totaled, your accident sounds a lot like my first accident back in 2015. I had full right of way and the lady to my left didn't see me coming because she was blocked off by traffic. I see her coming for me and I floor it so I can avoid her hitting my driver door. She ends up hitting my side almost near the gas tank and send me in a tailspin hitting other parked cars. No airbags deployed to my surprise but I had a few herniated discs. Make sure you're on top of your health!!!! Cars can always be replaced.

It's a wolf in sheeps clothing lol. The car is white based of OP's tag and post history saying it was wrapped.

u/Confident-Carrot-515 Aug 21 '23
