Pictures now up

Go to MY MSN SITE for higher quality pics.

Well, I finally had misfortune with my Celica. She's totalled.
I was taking a left leaving a stop sign, with a van taking a right(without a stop sign) from my left onto the street I was on. She had her blinker on and was slowing down so I checked the other way and started to go. I didn't see anyone behind the van, but there was a motorcycle who got impatient and went to go around the van at the same time I pulled out. He hit me almost dead center in the front bumper causing the bumper, bumper support, and radiator to crack. I'll get pictures up ASAP(it happened 6/20 at about 5:45pm but I was with my g/f at the emergency room last night).
As for human injuries, the airbag burnt some hair on my arm and left a nasty rash, my girlfriend got some serious whiplash, but should be fine in a few days, and the kid(he was 16 on a 750cc Ninja ZXR) broke his ankle and got some roadrash on his legs and hands but is otherwise okay(nice helmet, great jacket, but he had on Birkenstock sandals and shorts).
I've already gotten almost everything out of the car, but they wouldn't let me take the stereo(Progressive said something about it costing me extra if it doesn't get to the place with everything intact, big load of BS).

Anyways, I don't have internet at my place at the moment, and won't be making it to Pigeon Forge this weekend(I even had new rubber coming in and was planning on changing the oil and tuning it up today). Like I said, I'll get pictures up ASAP, it's bad, but it could have been much worse. I may try to buy it back(another load of BS, why pay for something you already own), but then again I'm thinking I'll get something cheap for now and save up for a down payment on something nice later. Either way, I'll still be around and whatever I get it's going to be a Toyoda(old joke from the brake cap on the 80's Toys).

damn man..at least no one is seriously hurt..hope things turn out for the better

sorry bro.........glad everybody is ok!

Sorry to hear about your car, but unless you have signed it over to the insurance company, it is still your car and I would remove evereything that did'nt come with the car including the stereo.Go find a stereo in a junkyard or on the buy/sell board here and set it in the dash.

Never let the insurance company control the situation, it's your car to do with as you like.

sorry man, hek at least no one got seriously hurt.

sorry to hear man... I wish you the best of luck with your insurance company...

man, all insur comps are ass's .. i woudl say if its nice hten take it out or dont nother then just buy it back.. i bought my bimmer back for 70 bucks.. an it was still worth around 7k ..then parted not even half the interior out for 600-700 bucks.. and still kept my 500 head unit .. see what they want for it.. an rebuild it or part it out...

Man Aaron that sucks. I was looking forward to another cruise up the dragon with you and josh this weekend. But Im glad your ok.

Man, your car got fugged up.. These cars dont seem to hold out on crashes at all.. I slammed into the side of a car with my bimmer going 45 mph .. and it didnt even look that bad.. but i guess it was also a sedan 55k car.. but as long as your ok..

Any word on buying it back, if so.....I need the quick shifter. >>

Other than that, im glad you guys are ok.

Hey sorry about your car. It's hard to believe all that happened from a bike. Glad to know nobody got hurt. Sorry again man

Sorry about your loss, man.
Not to be a vulture but you could make some money parting it out to us on 6GC.net. I know I need a bunch of stuff.

if u still ahve ur stock stuff just take that with u and they cant say a thing ifu put the stock crap in when u take the good stuff out.

I won't be selling any parts since I don't have anywhere to put it while I tear it down. The insurance company towed it off this morning, so it's too late to get it back now anyways. The only a/m parts left on it were the exhaust(Greddy SP), TRD shift kit(I saved the knob), and the strut bar(no way to get it off without cutting the hood off).

Thanks to everyone for their concern. It looks like I'm being charged with 100% of the fault(by witness statements), but the police report is totally worthless. It says that I hit his rear bumper, that his father was driving the bike, and that it happened on an intersection that doesn't even exist.

Anyways, thanks for everything over the years guys. All parts I have are being kept or are already sold(blitz front was bought by a local 6g friend and I'm keeping the rev/speed meter and amp for my next car).
I'll still be in touch when I get my internet back at the apartment, I just won't have a 6th gen anymore(after 5 years with her it feels weird knowing she's not coming back).

Good luck with whatever is next. Just don't go Honda on us. >>

damn sorry bout the reck man hope your ok and all. if i were you i would get a 89 supra tt very nice. but damn man i wanted ur strut bar and quickshifter if you were selling it guess those gay ass insurance pricks towed it before you could get your stuff back. ne ways man good luck.
