I'm debating on it!

Thanks everyone for the comments! I am happy that no one was hurt and that (hopefully) my car will be good as new in a few weeks. I normally wouldn't have any worries of having my car totaled in a wreck like this, because it doesn't seem too bad- but my sister just got in a car accident almost identical to mine- she wrecked her 2010 Nissan and it was totaled. Thanks again, and I'll update the thread once I hear back from the shop. |

Op you have a very nice car and at the end of the day it's material and stuff will haplen (I am no exception). She is very far from totaled out, find a reputable body shop and let them work their magic. Glad you are ok, your baby will be ok after surgery too soon enough.
Do not play into entertaining the judgement from all the perfect drivers, and saints on here who never ever make a mistake, nor exercise less than perfect judgement. Use this as an advantage to upgrade to a ZL1 bumper cover (as mentioned) and move forward. S**t happens and life goes on. |

I'm not going to get into the safe distance discussion because that's one of those discussions you can't win. I'm glad you're okay, and IMHO, I don't think it's totaled, but it must suck! Good luck.

Im pretty sure in every state if you rear end someone its YOUR fault.
On the same token... an officer can write you a distracted driving ticket for any accident. Because obviously, if you weren't distracted, you wouldn't have wrecked. Its also like having an accident in ANY inclement weather. If the WEATHER ever causes you to wreck, you weren't driving at a safe speed for conditions. But besides all the debate. Your Camaro DOES NOT look totaled. Im glad you were able to avoid hitting harder and avoid more damage. Glad you are okay, and you should be able to be repaired and get back on the road. |
