exactly!! and if it isnt totaled they have to tow it right back up here to get fixed. this might actually help it to get totaled since all the towing and storage gets added to the total price of repair.
someone looked at it quickly before they took it and im thinking they might have taken it down there because they think it might be totaled. that way its easier for them when the car belongs to them.
we will see. they are supposed to decide in the next few days

If it does get totaled, will you be looking to get rid of your jack?

i had a toyota matrix rental last week when my car was in the body shop....hmm i was hit by a dumb lady too.

the matrix was nimble...that was about it. it had no power at all. i just had to fly around every corner as fast as i could with t e tires howling.

just talked to my insurance and my car is totaled (RIP)
the repairs reached 75% of the car value and he still had more thing to enter!!!!
he said there was damage to all the crumple zones (front bumper and rails running from bumper to the unibody) since its meant to crumple you cant just repair it. you have to replace everything.
stay tune for parts i will have for sale.
