Dude thank goodness your ok. I think your E30's crumple zone really helped out on this one.
Lick your wounds and find another clean vert if that is where your heart is.Leave a comment:

is sad that the little plastic piece that got bent on the amg will prob cost more than your whole car.Leave a comment:

I will definitely be arguing with someone about this, just because the insurance companies are probably going to stick this on me because I was the first impact.
I havent even looked under the hood yet I'm not looking forward to it.That's rough buddy. Strange though that you're car crunched, and those plastic ones didn't...A couple years back i was hit head on by a ford edge in my 88 vert. The car was CLEAN! I had a buyer lined up to pay $4800 for her. new leather, clean paint, new roof.
112k miles. The edge had some serious damage, i had a crushed shock mount, slightly dented hood, fender, cracked headlight, and a slightly dented bumper. To parts and paint match I was quoted at $2400ish. The other person had alstate(their fault) they had the book value at $2100ish...so i ended up taking the most they'd give me without totaling the car(80%)
I argued with this guy for a while, he's like look, we can total it and give you this...or not total it and give you this...
Glad you're okay, and sorry you can't make the Art Museum meet...I'll try to get another one together soon.
Whether the car died or not, that e30 did save your life.
She was I've owned 7 e30s and this one was the cleanest
lol I still cant believe how much I slid. I was giving the merc ample room he just stopped fast as hell. Gotta love, in my case hate, 4 pot calipers (I assume their 4 pot)Audi and Merc gangbang on old BMW
But seriously; that sucks man. If my iS even got totaled, I'd have more than a few words. There was a huge torrential rain here at night the other day, and I pulled over for 20 minutes on the side of the road just to wait it out because I didn't want some idiot prick driver doing the exact thing that happened to youLeave a comment:

Bummer your car looked really clean :(
And I'm also amazed at the damage to your E30 and lack of damage to everyone else.Leave a comment:

aww man this sort of thing pisses me off..
yea argue for the condition of the car, classic, etc. took a month, but they gave me 5k for my total, 4k to keep after an initial 2k lowball. if the difference is small, id keep and part out/save for spares.Leave a comment:

Def not salvageable and I'll try and keep away from e36s they are so cheap now tho...just read your 1st post, didnt' go through the rest of the slop.
I'm sorry this happened...DO get yourself checked out at a docs, you're likely going to be stiff as hell tomorrow, and the following days.
Oftentimes the results of this accident will creep up on you later on.
REALLY sucks about your little E30 vert...it's painful to see it, as your vert is almost identical to mine...
don't think that's salvageable.
part her out, start fresh, and stay away from E36's.

If I end up getting something than an early model e30 they're yours
Thanks for the condolences.
Possibly some good news if they do use NADA and I do get the total loss money from the insurance company of the guy who hit me I'll be getting more than the car is worth. They have it listed as $4,275 low retail. Which I find hard to believe I figured it would be a lot lower.

Very sorry for your loss. Sounds like you're okay, though definitely do as Mr. Burns suggested and have a doc check you out just to be sure.Leave a comment:

Should not need one, the insurance Co. is going to call it totaled. Is where the problem is going to end up being,..as in not wanting to give you what you have in the car.
We road, hard to place blame on you being meat in the sandwich spot.Leave a comment:

good point. I'll have to look into it.
Yea I know there people in worse situations then me but shit this just sucks. As far as "neck injuries" go the cop reported no injuries on the scene so I think I should be good but you never know.Keep your cool man, that sounds like a... less than ideal situation. Even more 'less than ideal' is that tidbit about you striking the AMG who then struck the A6. If that's the case, you might want to brace yourself for hellfire (and hopefully no one had "neck injuries".)
...however, the YouTube thread in OT is full of cheerful, uplifting videos to get your mind off of this. There's also weed I guess.Leave a comment:
