I'd have to say that one a tad bit beyond repair. I hope you are alright.

Rearended by a semi, means the value has gone way up. Unless you did something that caused the accident......

Yea - I hope you get everything covered! I'm also very impressed the car still crumbled as designed. I mean, it sucks that the car is totalled, but it still compressed as mazda intended it to during a rear collision! Makes me feel safer about my gsl-se.

How bad is the front - is the engine, trans, rear still good? I'm sure you could swap that into another shell easily...

I wasn't the cause of it at all traffic was heavy and it slowed down apparently the semi driver wasn't paying attention to the road.

I was able to drive the car onto and off of the trailer. The front of the car is fine it never got hit so I will be able to use almost everything again

Dibs on the left tail light?

Really though, that sucks. It's always sad to see a 7 get popped like that.

On behalf of all decent truckers, I'd like to apologise for your car being smashed by one of us. Glad your ok, that could have been very bad.
