    Talked to the adjuster this morning and he won't be able to take a look until tomorrow, so I don't know for sure that it's totaled. But there's a visible crease in the passenger's side frame rail and significant damage to the unibody all around the engine bay. Even if the structural damage is fixable there's no guarantee the engine still runs. Chances don't look good at this point.

    Working on finding a replacement in case it is totaled. Will know more on that front soon.

    The driver's side is in good condition, for a foxfire of its age! Unfortunately the passenger side needs... new paint.. For cars of our vintage, any frame damage from frontal impacts are total-eriffic. =( There would just be too much work to fix everything and make sure the engine runs well, and that everything else in the engine bay is back to normal.

    I held out hope that my Eagle was not totaled after a similar front T-BONE collision (also not my fault) until the adjuster literally started laughing at me over the phone when I asked if it was totaled or not. I was paid over NADA value because there are fewer and fewer Talons around.
