Default Totalled?

Well...I am not quite sure where to start since I just posted pics of my new taillight tint and just dropped $3000 in paint and new parts...but I think my car is totalled. I just got home from the hospital where I spent the last 3 hours getting stitches and x-rays. I was heading into the town next to mine tonight to hang out with some friends of mine and their wives...anyway our interstate bridge here is all under construction with stupid grate on it from where the concrete was washed away after Hurricane Ivan. I was behind a truck with construction workers pulling a trailer with all of their drywall material. It started fish tailing and came unhooked from the truck and turned sideways on the bridge. I was unable to avoid it and slammed right into the side of it. Airbags deployed, Roush front end gone, Cobra R hood is busted beyond repair, front driver Bullitt wheel is cracked and the frame is twisted. I made out with 15 stitches on my hand and 3 broken ribs from the seat belt. All and all I am ok but I am pretty sure the car is a total loss. I put the spare I had on it so I could get them to put it on a flat bed to take to my parents house. I will take pics of it when I go over there in the afternoon. I will have some parts to sell if anyone is interested. Shaved rear deck, 1 17X9 bullitt and 2 17X10.5 with 3 good tires, lowering springs, flowmasters, k&n, x-pipe, rear bumper, and anything else I can think of. I was so excited to have an amazing car for this summer but I will be back on the market for something else now. I will post pics when I get them...it has been a long night...:censored: :yawn:

My dad snapped a few pics of the car this morning so I didn't have to worry about going over there since I am still really sore. There is also a small snipet in the newspaper here for today.

It looks worse than I orginally thought in the front and I can't find my other bullitt wheel that I took off last night to put the spare on! I was hoping I could have the crack repaired but I think I left it on the flatbed :censored: Anyway here are some pictures that my dad took this morning at the house. Thanks everyone for your caring comments.
