Dont know the total dmg or anything yet, but the tow truck driver figures its a write off cause the frame looks warped.

I stopped at a yellow and got rear ended by a GMC Envoy, witnesses said he was going about 50 or 60 km/h when he hit me.

I was shocked and let off the brake so my car ended up in a tree about 100ft away.

Only 2 weeks old with 1000k on her.....oh well
 
DAMN GM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really feel for you man as that's my favorite color on the Speed6. You gonna get another one or something else?
 
its good that you let off the brake. The impact wouldve been worse if you wouldve stayed still.
 
so sorry to see this,first thing is you,your OK,thats the most important thing here,the car,well its was new,but i am about 99% sure its totalled,so you ll get a brand new one again....


take care,its just metal and plastic,youre ALIVE!!!!!(nana)
 
The best part of the whole situation is that everybody walked away right?

Just out of curosity, what does the front end look like??

I have to agree that it is probably totalled, a couple of years ago a Jeep Cherokee pulled out in front of me and with the snow on the road I couldn't stop. My car was totalled and I think your MS6 may have more damage than my Honda did.

Glad your ok. It would be great if you could let us know if it turns out to be totalled. I am sure your engine/drivetrain would go to VERY good use.
 
sorry man, hope your ok. Make sure to get your neck/back checked regardless, you never know.

White one too, harder to find a white one.
 
was in a similar accident.. got sandwiched having the front end damaged as well..
the rear had frame damage.. repair cost totalling near 12k...
insurance deemed it repairable.. considering the value of the speed.. theres a possibility they may fix it..
 
Yeah still nothing from my insurace, but the front end looks fine, no dmg at all.

Personally I'd rather it be a write off. I would be without a car for too long and it'll never feel the same after something like this.

And to answer Trees' question No, no airbags went off, not even in the Envoy that hit me.
 
Yep there is here.

Anyways I should finally know about my speed6 this week. If its a write off I'm debating picking up black MS6 or white MS3....I'm not a huge fan of FWD.
