So I'm sure it's all bent but not broken assuming the strut tower didn't get tweaked or not much it's definitely fixable.

USAA put me in a rental, a 2018 Toyota Corolla, very nice car, LOOOVE the seats they fit my back like a ****ing glove! but it only gets 28/36mpg... I had gotten low 40's with the HX without even having it in tip top yet... No idea where this is going but I'll know in a couple weeks.

oh man!! I am so sorry to hear that!

but who cares about the car, are you ok? That's the first thing that entered my mind. yeah that will definitely be totaled as ksa8907 was saying. The damage to the suspension (control arms, kingpin/knuckle, shock, shock tower), axles, hub, etc.. That itself is probably worth more than what they'd value the entire car at. sad, but true..

yeah as xist said, not going to need the o2 sensor, and I know how you were looking forward to messing around with it. But sounds like the seats in that corolla are very comfortable! I know that the 96-2000 hx seats aren't the best, a little thin/small.. Toyota can definitely make a good seat! My scion tC has some of the best seats I've ever sat in.. but no they dont get the mpg's the HX got..

hey did you want to tell us what happened? Or stay quiet til everything is settled legally? I know how people aren't supposed to talk about open cases on the forums.. let us know. I think that sentra/elantra? in the picture caused it.. but that's me..
