Default Audi down... =[

SO, totaled the car today, not sure about what im going to do with it yet, but I dont think its repairable. Its already a salvage title so I probably wont get much for it, but I be getting rid of a few parts and maintenance items for those interested. After i clean it out tomorrow and get a better look at it ill try and post up a list of stuff. carnage pics:

Oh snap! Looks like it did a good job of letting you walk away! Not sure if anything with fit my b5 a4 but I'll watch for photos. Sounds like its her fault so her insurance should be covering all your damages and any injuries. Lucky for you anyway.

Sorry to see another B5 go the way of the dodo, but at least you're ok. The car can be replaced, you cannot. How does your neck/back feel? Doesn't look to me like it was your fault. If you're parting it out I could use the hood, driver's side fender and driver's side headlight.......

Thanks guys, I just started talks with insurance so im not sure what ill get out of it. But I am thankful to have walked away from it mostly uninjured. Just have contusions on my neck, left shoulder, abdoman and knees from the seat belt and dashboard. But its safe to say that I will be buying another Audi product after how the car treated me. And yea she was definitely at fault. Just pulled right out in front of me, I barely had enough time to get to the brakes before we hit. At this point im just debating what to do with the car. there are a couple things I want off of it, and i would like to guage interest on who wants anyhting off of it. If there is enough interest i will buy it back from insurance and part it out. I didnt have time to get out there today as I had to have more xrays and CT's but tomorrow ill be going to look at it/ clean it out.

Oh man. It's painful to see a B5 like that but I'm mostly glad that you're okay.

Chris needs all those parts to go in his trunk.

I say you should get another B5 next.

Well I might part it out, I've had a few people interested in parts off of it already so ill wait and see. I might also buy it back and sell it as a whole for a few extra bucks with all the parts on it and possibly other parts I have for it.

I will be buying another Audi, thats a fact. But im not sure which one. Im leaning towards a B7 A4 with the 3.2/6 speed in it, But I may decide to be a cheap *** and buy another B5 ( which I have absolutely no problem doing ). I miss my car already.
