Got t boned in the S8 today by an 18 wheeler
5 minutes from the jobsite this morning I was t boned by an 18 wheeler that ran the stop sign. I have no idea how fast he was going, but he spun me right around and my car flew over the ditch landing nose first on the grass. The front seems a bit bent. The front fender gap on th epassenger side is off now, rear passenger wheel broken and twisted axle. All the coolant pissed out of the rad, curtaina nd side bags went off. The truck driver was charged
This god damn car never even had a stone chip and full service history right from new. This really pisses me off. I'm guessing it's a write off

Geesh, this was a nice car and it's my favorite color. I know your pain, I had a 88 5.0 flawless mustang from 16 until 25. U worked near the ambassador bridge, it was taken away from me in similar fashion by a semi running a light. By then it wasn't even my DD anymore, all I could think was why.

I didn't see it until it was too late, then all I saw was grill in my passenger windows
My rental car just got dropped off to my house. A nice turbo V8, adaptive cruise, massage seats, and nightvision. Should be fun racking up 200km per day on someone elses car. Apparently these are only available to insurance companies for people who ding up their higher end sedans. They told me these can't be rented for people to use.

I've had a couple close calls that way, catching somebody looking like they're going to blow the sign, stopping with my nose in the intersection only to have them darn near take it off before the suspension even has time to settle, eyes glued to their phones or that stupid panicked look when they realize too late how bad they messed up. I'm very sorry to hear that happened to such an exemplary S8. It looks repairable(depends on how much underneath that rear got pushed around,) but at dealer rates it'll exceed what insurance will repair. I hope I'm wrong, it'd be good to get it back on the road. I don't know how long it'll take you to find the right one again or will you use this as an opportunity to get something else?
