Much appreciated; no, not part as they were quick to tow it away from the bottom shop after declaring it totalled and they haven't offered me the option to buy it back. Not that I would, or anything. Looking at the pics is hard enough... :(

I'm not entirely sure what's next, but whatever it is, I hope it'll be as enjoyable to drive as the MSP was.
 
Damn dude hope ur ok, sucks that s*** happened, very very nice laser blue.
 
That honestly doesn't look THAT bad. Have you asked about the buy-back option?

It looks substantially worse in person; the engine is pushed back a bit and the frame behind the driver's side fender is all mashed up. Fortunately, no one was hurt. My ankle was a little sore a few days later (prolly from standing on the brake pedal), but I'm fine now. I'm reluctant to buy another MSP, no matter how awesome it is, it won't be the same car. :(
 
Glad you are OK. I hope the insurance will allow you to get something that will give you at least equal amounts of enjoyment in the future! (2thumbs)
 
^ I appreciate that. On the upside, I've got something new [to me] to start working on... :D
