8507, Bender Fendered my eclipse yestarday

well i was kinda hoping i would go just a bit further in my driving career in getting an accident at 20.... i was in a crappy turning lane and i had just turned into a lane were its an automatic right and if you want to go to the left you have to cross 3 lanes of traffic to get there. there was a break in traffic and i decided to go head and go to the left side. BIG MISTAKE. i didnt realize how close i was to the car infront of me and i scrapped up against there rear left side causing a bit of body damage and paint damage. however cause i have the eclipse and we know how easy it is to damage it my car looks way worse then heres. heres a list of what im going to have to replace:

Front Right fender
Front bumper
Front headlight
Hood
Headlight socket
body work in engine bay
Corner light
paint
and i will possibly have to replace some suspension cause here rear went staright into my wheel. i think my rims are dented in cause i can here them scrapping against my calipers......

cant wait to get her fixed again and up and running. A good thing is lol, i needed a new headlight, bumper, hood, and rims:-D. this just wasnt the way to do it.....I'll Post pics later.

Thats a little more than a little body damage, if you need all that shit, you just totalled your car bro.

Im in atlanta and all my pics are on my father inlaws camera. when i get back to nc ill go head and download the pics....How do they pay for the car when its totalled i have 3480 left on the car and i think blue book value for the car is 4000+ for trade in and 6000+for private sale and 8000 for dealer sale. so how will they pay for that?

If it's totaled, they'll probably just cut you a check. Farmers (read: bastards) checked local prices of shitty ass 2gnt's and payed me based on the average price. My car was nice as new and they gave me next to nothing. We fought with them forever and we ended up gettting to keep the car and get just a little less than book value.
