Sorry to hear about the crash Josh, but the main thing is that you are ok.
Goodbye NC.org
I totalled my car tonight, hydroplaned off a hidden pocket of water on a turn coming home from work and rolled the car 3 times down a slight decline onto another residential street. I don't think I've ever seen a celica in an accident this bad, so I'm greatful to God that I only have a seatbelt rash. I estimating hitting the curb at 50-60mph. I owe $11K on the car and hoping to get 16-17K minus buyback from insurance (if engine is good). The car had 33,000 miles w/ action package, trd wheels, warrantee, navi, leather, manual, immaculate, moon roof.
....priceless to me!
I hit the curb traveling backwards and the car did two mid-air rolls before landing the correct-side up, and rolling one more time on the pavement. The car was my baby for the last 3 years, so plz be careful out there guys/gals, don't make the same mistake I did.
The plan is to get an MR2-S, dump the 2zz from the car in there if its still good, and hopefully I'll have a lil extra$$$ left over for someother good mods.
Does anyone know the best MR2-S forums, one that is equivalent to nc.org???
Anyways, big thanks to NC.org for the support then and now!!

UPDATE: after pics posted 
That'll buff right out :chuckles:
I expected worse actually from 3 rolls. I think Chris (EasyC) rearending looked worse.
Glad to hear you're ok though..and enquiring minds want to know...did the driver headlight survive?

I'm very sorry to hear about the Celi, but it's good to know that you are fine, and also good news that you will get back some of the money through insurance!
Good luck with the engine swap iinto an MR2 -- I think at least one NC.org member has done one (LilRocketSpyder???), so don't feel you have to go just cause the Celi's dead -- and especially if you keep the 2zz
On another note ... I hate to ask this ... but, after the insurance adjusters look it over, are you going to be parting out the Celica? If so, PM me, 'cause I'd be very interested in buying some parts from you.

Damn, glad you're okay. Good Luck and keep in touch. It's nice to see old familiar faces here.

Edit: Dont be modest about asking about parting it out as soon as insurance gets moving I'll probably have some parts for you local guys.

Tough crowd :wtc: Glad you're okay though. Good luck with whatever car you move onto
Good to know you came out okay! Sad to see another Celica owner go, but good to know you're staying within the Toyota Family.
If you happen to part out some parts, please PM me. I'm interested to how much you'd sell the trunk plastics or any of the other interior plastics. Also I maybe interested in the leather seats Front & Back depending how much you let them go for.
