The Buick is absolutely totaled. I was going 50 in the right hand lane of a 4 lane, 2 each way, road, and a teenager suddenly turned across my lane while I was going 50. I don't fully remember the crash, but next thing I know, I had someone pounding on my driver's side door. I couldn't get out, so I went out the passenger door. The kid manned up and took responsibility right away. The adjuster for their insurance company is a car guy so... I pretty much got back every dollar that I put into the car. No major injuries. As far as the Buick, the frame is *fook*. It now permanently sits about half a foot higher on the back right side. Small overlap front end collision with the other car going about 20. It punched into the fender and then sent ripples through the chassis, door, roof, and the subframe, as well as shearing off part of the wheel.
My new car has a v8, but... it's german... and a sedan. It's been awhile since I sold all the fun German cars, so thought I'd go back for a little while.
2000 Audi A6 4.2 Quattro. Exhaust and tune are getting done ASAP and maybe suspension, but otherwise it's a waste to spend thousands on mods that don't do *shoot*. I should be able to get this up to 260whp or so pretty easily, and it will be quick enough for now. New motor is going in right now with t-belt, waterpump, new seals and tensioners for the most part, transmission was rebuilt last year.
