Don't turn left into on coming traffic...
Luckily no major injuries, but my baby is in the shop for at least a month for major repairs and a Lexus was totalled in the process as well...

BUT! Everyone is ok...







Sigh.....

Apparently not. The insurance company wants to fix it, the engine is not damaged. I've got a Honda Dealership on it, they feel confident to repair it. I've tried to get the to total it to no avail...

That's the one thing that sucks about our cars. The S2000 retains it's value so well that it will take blowing the car up for it to be a total loss Glad to see you're ok

I would have had the insurance company total that. Doesn't look like a minor "fender bender" to me.

Unfortunately I don't have a say in it, (unless there's something I don't know about situations such as this).

well, the silver lining ... you had a good wax job on there. i guess that's the equivalent of having clean underwear on like my momma always taught me to do.
