is it pain, or just really sore? More than likely you are just sore, since it got worse overnight. Strained muscles will tend to stiffen up as well… As for anything reaching out and pulling that’s gonna hurt. But to lock your elbow against your hip and carry things aroudn isn’t that bad… BTW: I waited tables with a bruised tricep while in college, it sucks but you can do it if you need to. > [@huskysgrl](#): > > Wanna bet?? I can even put any type of weight on it right now (got worse overnight)… opening a door? pain… Pull open a file cabinet? pain… straighten it? pain… tried to wash my hair this morning… pain. > > I wish I could find my sling from when I fractured my elbow… that would keep me from trying to use my arm when I can’t. ---

Tonight run down there and set it on fire, just make sure to take a ski mask or something hehe… IF they try to fix it it’ll be a neverending nightmare of fucked up shit… Front wheel drive + front axle dmg = totalled… > [@Sight N Sound](#): > > dude you are a fucking idiot, the whole fucking front of the unibody is bent to the driver side. if it was what you are claiming I could take the money and fix it my self. The radiator is pushe over onto the engine and the hood its fucked. Then the clutch pedle is stuck to the floor so there is a bit more than that. Like we said in a earlier post 3500 -4000 right now and that before getting the hood popped. Car is only worth 42-4500. > > Thanks for paying attetion. ---

If the car gets totalled they need to give us mroe than its worth because I refuse to fucking pay what is left over on the loan. Especially when its not my fucking fault. This car has been a fucking issue ever since her and her dad went out and bought it after not looking at another single car. Christ the payments are 6 dollars less than mine and I bought mine january of 2001 with 5 miles on it. This is what really fucking pisses me off. ---

Its not that bad. If they presume it totaled be thankin yourself its REALLY not that bad man. My friend got hit by a Ryder moving truck he had a 1997 Chevy Blazer he knocked the tranny to the ground he hit so hard and its not totaled. I’ve been in many wrecks i can usually tell when i’m right. I was in a Camaro Z28 when it got totaled and i said it was totaled nobody else believed me and i was right. Matter of fact it was LS1 Babe’s boyfriends. So please give me some credit just because i have a sunbird doesn’t mean i can’t be right. ---

Yay… a Saturn… :hs: Anyways… I suppose we’ll be finding out shortly whether it’s getting fixed, or being totalled. ---

Ok well here is the scoop… it was 4200 bucks worth the damage. It was right on the line and the apprasier wanted to total it because he couldn’t find the parts. Jimmy knows some people and since I;m friends with him cut back on some things to get the cost down so it wouldn;t be totalled. He talked with them and we would have owed 2000 to her loan company if it was totalled which I don;t have laying around especially with all the shit we just got done and are doing to the house. Clutch pedal was due to the control arm ripping and axel getting torn out, and It needs a new radiator. Body is shifted but not as bad as thought. So it should be done in about 2.5-3 weeks. So for mister suncawk YES IT WAS GETTING TOTALLED. :rolleyes: ---

That’s good that you don’t have to pay the 2 grand - I just hope the car is fixed right so it’s not a complete nightmare. My suggestion is when you get the car back, rice it to hell and back and sell it to some unsuspecting high schooler for a little more than what you owe and get something that hasn’t been “totalled”. my $.02 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wrecked-my-car-this-morning/166241.md?page=5) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wrecked-my-car-this-morning/166241.md?page=7)
