Sorry These were taken on a camera phone and I just wanted to get the hell out of the rain and mud. This all happened the night before Thanksgiving as I was leaving work. It was raining real hard and there was a bunch of glass along the exit of the parking lot. Basically, I try to turn right out of the parking lot thinking both my front tires are inflated (driver side had a nice gash in it from a big slice of grey goose) and instead of going right the car just keeps goin left up onto a curb...

I really don't see the 'totalled' part of this damage.. Unless you're check is for $3000+ I'd buy it back and fix it. You could sell car, private sale for $4k.

yeah my air bags didnt deploy... isn't that bad? haha. when my sister totalled her camry she got a couple grand for the airbags not deploying because it was faster than a certain MPH. so she got a nice fat check for mechanical failure from the airbags. my collision was only at 15-20mph so im not surprised they didnt deploy

my accident was also at 15-20 mph and mine didn't deploy, and mine was head on with a non-moving concrete pole.
i also think i read somewhere that tibby's have bad airbags...

Airbags go off in a crash that otherwise might kill you. Deploying the airbags is a good way to total out an RD. Be glad they didn't go off.
