Best regards, glad you're OK.
I agree with #17, bet she was distracted. Today, I took note, and about 2/3rds of drivers I caught looking at something -OTHER- than the road. And surprisingly enough, a punk pulled out slightly quicker and tried to occupy both west bound lanes I was heading in. The give-away that he deliberately pulled this, he locked eyes with me, very plain.
(but I had plenty of time to avoid him)
*****
What scares me, mine is hyper-blue also. WTF.
******

Pop the engine, maybe tranny for the $$ buyback of the totaled car???? Make a heck of a SWB truck motor.....

I've had about four or five drivers get aggressive and try to run me off the road within the first week of driving this car. No one bothered me in my old Ford Explorer. Got myself a dashcam for those crazies.

Wow. Hope there were no injuries.
That is brutal.
Ya, lots of work done in that Ride. I can imagine the thoughts running through your head....

Sorry to see. I would say right-off. Way to much work to be done.
My little fender crunch (fender replacement only) was about $2200.
You multiply that for every piece on your pics. Door, Quarters, trunk, rear valance, exhaust, etc. you are around $18K

keep us updated

what side did you get hit on that looks as the driver side because the bumper is off towards the passenger side but the passenger side is worse very strange ????

Had an old lady pull out in front of me yesterday as I was leaving a stop light. Thankfully my idiot driver incident ended better than the OP's.

There was a truck to my left at the green and I was many lengths ahead of him . So I was able to do a maneuver to the left lane as well as brake. I STILL thought she was going to make contact.

I hit my horn after I was in the left lane which scared the hell out of her.

She NEVER looked left/towards oncoming traffic....At all! HOW can people drive that way?

I can't tell if there's frame damage.. But the damage is definitely worth more than 50% of the car's value. Which is usually a for sure total loss vehicle.

damn that blows, good thing no one was seriously hurt. Total loss for sure. 30k car, with 20k in damage.

Hopefully insurance sorts it out in a timely manner. You gonna go back to a Camaro?

thanks everyone.
so i was hit in the passenger door, which as a result pushed me into another car in the left lane which is why both sides are damaged.

Canadian price, but so far the estimate is a min of $25,000 in damage. they expect it to creep into the $30s if they start exploratory work. body shop is recommending total loss.

Very sad. Mike and HYPER1LE’s Camaros looked like they were given lots of attention and love. Beautiful cars. Like everyone said glad no one was physically injured.
