    911, JKU, 330i.

    Default Well, pretty sure that's totalled.

    This happened tonight. Wife got sandwiched. She's fine, so that's outstanding.

    Came to a stop in a sudden slowdown on 94 and managed to stop without hitting someone...and then got hit by a range-rover at about 30 MPH...and got pushed into the car that she managed to avoid in the first place.

    Oh, and why was she driving my car today?

    Well, it's because I went to get the BMW this morning from Raymond Auto Body! Yes, it was there because some dick hit it in a parking lot, and JK's wife happened to get the plate number of the car.

    Great timing. Hatch won't open and the rear doors are tight. Pretty sure parts are non-existent for this car at this point, so it's game over.

    Carnage:






    Pretty sure it's done for, despite how minor it looks.

    I'm a little more bummed than I thought I would be about it.

    Shitty shit. Super glad that it wasn't more severe! I'd bet you're very correct on that being totaled based on the frame being punched a bit and the fact that parts are going to be tough to find. I'm curious to see what their estimate ends up being.

    I almost didn't want to click, thinking it might be the 911.

    I agree that it is most likely totaled, but that does not look like much damage at all for a 30 MPH impact. I would expect the hatch to be a lot more crunched.

    First, I'm very happy that no-one was injured!

    Second, yeah that is very likely to be totaled because of the whole Saab thing. Sorry for your loss.

    Third, any idea of what you'll replace it with?

    Ugh. That sucks, Palmer. Glad nobody was hurt, these are tough cars, but that sure does look totalled.

    +1 for curious as to the value insurance claims it to be.

    Glad to hear that she wasn't injured, but she should still get her neck and back checked out. I got hit at 10 MPH last year, and my neck still got screwed up pretty good.

    Same here! My stomach seriously dropped a little bit.

    Glad to hear to your wife is okay, Palmer. Seems like you guys have been unlucky recently, hopefully that turns around! Sucks about the Saab though.

    Palmer... I think the Eurowerks collective heat just skipped a beat. Glad to hear she is doing okay. And the 911 too...
