So this lady cut me off and hit my car, her insurance said its totaled. Because of the frame damage. Whats next next anyone have this happen. Its a 95 eclipse gs-t with 152k on the body and 23k on the motor. Hood, fender, bumper, headlight, a/c i think powersteering too. The frame is hitting the water pump pulley and thats bent too. All the belts are rubbing each other and starting to shred. I only started it twice after and wont start it again, the horrible sounds coming from the engine bay. Worth keeping? I will try to get pics up when i get the car towed back to my house ---

With that many miles on the body though?? If you really want one it might be worth taking the insurance money and trying to find another. ---

You only owned it 2 weeks, this might have been a blessing in disguise ;). All jokes aside, ultimately it’s your decision but I still say you’re better looking for another car. ---

get the cash, buy back the car for 10% (or whatever the ins co wants within reason) find a popped motor GSX/TSi awd and drop it in. or do that but get a blown motor, crap body GSX/TSi AWD and something light like a mirage hatch and get out the welder and saws. 🙂 Brian ---
