Default JUST TOTALED MY CAR.....AGAIN!!

I totaled my car on Saturday morning at 1 am. I was driving home from my base in VA when an 18 wheeler cut into the lane i was in. I guess he was trying to get to the exit. I wasnt speeding. I was moving with traffic. He slammed on his brakes and i went into the back side of him. It sucks. This is the second time i have totaled this car. The last time i got 6000 and it only needed 2000 in actual repares because i did it all my self. This time its deffinatly totaled. Both airbags went off and i would need a new hood, fender, bumper, bumper support, radiator suipport, new ac condenser and some ac lines. new brake fluid resivior, new left light and new left door and windshield also the airbags. I have put so much time and money into it so far that i wanna cry. I was getting Teins from vtecvoodoo and An engine around Christmas time. I hate my life. Ill have pics up in a little bit. I gotta upload them.

buy it back... and either sell the salvagable parts or buy another EK and swap those parts over. When I totaled my first car, I just sold all the parts off the car and started over with a new car... I figured it was bad luck.

sorry to hear... glad you're ok.

at the risk of sounding insensitive, are you parting anything out?

sorry man, that blows! reminds me of last this time last year after some one rear ended my EG at 35 mph! but look at what I have now... but again sorry to jump to it but parting anything out? I made enough off selling my EG parts to fund the new parts for my EK once i got it... good luck

Sorry to hear about your loss, hope you get everything sorted out with your insurance. I was wondering, what hit your windshield?
