Car looks pretty bad, but the insurance adjuster is gonna come sometime this week to check it out, so we won't know until then if is totaled or not.
Glad you are ok, seems these cars can hold pretty well. Hope your supra confort you

Yeah, I was wrenching on the Supra to de-stress lol. Unfortunately it's getting too cold to drive it so it might be a while before I get my fast car fix...

I've noticed those damn buttons are NOT in an intuitive place. And then flipping through the functions. It really does rob vital attention.

PS. The Curse Continues....
It's one of those accidents that just happens.
Everyone is fiddling with knobs, stereo, phone etc. while driving and usually it's no problem. I do it a lot.
And then bad luck strikes. At someone on some road somewhere. Sorry it was you this time.

The important thing is that no one got hurt.
The rest is just money... and all the hours of work on the car.

It's the going to bed early part that bugs me the most.
I'm nocturnal by nature, trying desperately to sleep when my brain is most creative.

Same here. Week nights in bed no later than 10 and up at 5. Weekends or holidays up until 3 or 4 and that is when I truly enjoy myself.
