My 2006 G35X Accident

Coming back to the office after lunch today, my 2006 G35x with 29k miles on it got sandwiched between a Chevy Malibu and Toyota Solara.

Those 2 cars had hardly any visible damage - mine crunched big time. I was stopped and plowed into the car in front of me.





Will have an estimate on Monday... they do not think it will be totaled which really sucks for me.

Bro' if they don't consider that totaled I would personally go in the engine and fu*k up the wiring and anything else to constitute it as totaled… don't try to repair that! Just get your money back...
I hope no one got injured.

Sorry to hear about that man, you should ask your insurance company how much it would cost to buy your car back and part it out for some serious cash $$. It would help compensate for the loss. I'm really sure that it's totaled. If they don't total that then I would go to a different insurance company >.>

Neither front or side air bags deployed. Passenger side drivers door will barely open.

What the hell? Wow what in the world? If they total it you should def. buy that car back and sell the airbags! You'll make tons of money back, I myself would buy your dashboard + passenger airbag.

Probably a total there.

Surprised the air bags didn't deploy, maybe you should voice concern to the adjuster that the air bags didn't go off and you are worried they may be faulty... that could help convince them to total it.

^ Truth. I'm just trying to lighten up your spirit, look at the brightside! The insurance company will give you $$ for your car, you can buy another car. Then buy your old car back and sell it for parts and use that for mod money! (Or a house down payment)

air bag deployment sometimes depends on the crush points. I have been in a 50mph head on collision and mine never went off (pathfinder)

I have never seen a G so beat up, i would be suprised if there isnt major frame damage. Glad you are okay!
