Sad sight.
If I lost my '01z I'd have to relax until I signed on a C6z...
Good luck with the details..

Glad you're OK but so sad seeing the car like that. Best of luck in either repairing the car or getting into another one.

Correct. I made a left hand turn on a Green Yield light, and didn't see the oncoming traffic.

Yep. They kept my face from eating the steering wheel. A smell I won't soon forget, and hope I never smell again.
The insurance company totaled it. The car was fixable IMO, but with a $8000 salvage, it's cheaper for them to total it out, and be done with it.
