As stated, an 18 wheeler ran a stop sign and I had to swerve to avoid being tboned. I'm sick. This car is my baby. Is this fixable or will they total it?

The front bumper is shoved back and it appears the radiator fans and maybe radiator are pushed back alittle. The rear bumper is damaged as well. Car runs and no lights or temperature problems. Air bags didn't deploy. Had to get it home so we secured pieces enough to drive it home. I noticed a minor misfire but besides that it drove fine. Can it be saved or will they total? I'm sick..

Sorry to see that. Seems mostly superficial, except for that sad looking duck bill.

Do you think they will be able to repair it?

Do you have dashcam footage of the semi?

No clue if it'll get totaled or not. How are you? Keep us updated. I hope tucking company's insurance is decent.

No dashcam and the truck didn't stop. My fiance was following about 100 yards behind me and seen it happen. The truck didn't have any big commercial trucking logo on it and she stopped to check on me wrather than chase the truck.

Sorry. The thing about hidden damage is that it's hidden. They are going to have to pull off the bumpers and have a look. I wouldnt; be too worried about the radiator mounting panel getting pushed. That happens all the time without real frame damage. The fact that the airbags did not blow is promising from a force of impact standpoint.

I have progressive and I believe it's being filed under collision.

Damn! That sucks dude. As long as you’re alright everything’s good. It doesn’t look that bad but depends on whether or not the frame, drive train etc is good. What did the police put down as damages?

Just a heads up - they will try to repair it with aftermarket parts (all insurance companies do). First hand experience with Progressive.

I recently switched over to Progressive since Geico wanted to increase my yearly premium to $2500/year (lol). There was an option to only use OEM parts that increased my 6m premium by like $5.

That's okay as long as they fix it correctly...I just don't want them to total it.
