Unhappy totaled???? (Plow and perch)

i was driving down s I-89 and the road conditions were a bit on the slippery side i ended up between the exit taking out a exit sign post (launched that pole a good 30 feet) and the highway ontop... yes perched ontop the guardrail like it was a mantle.... all 4 wheels off the ground. its quite impressive that the little 3500lb tank of a car tore up that much guardrail (15 feet) and managed to not suffer any signifigant front end damage, fenders and lights and hood are all like new... i wish i had a camera... looked like a crane lowered it onto the guard rail, if not for the path of destruction left behind youd think it had been.

the body recieved almost no damage at all (dont know how i didnt shatter the bumper and cave in the nose) but ill need a new front bumper probly... all the damage was done underneath... damn guardrail posts ... i know my radiator is junk as i lost all my coolant while it was perched out the underside. exhaust probly took a good shot as well being jammed on and ripped off the guardrail....damn wrecker truck... no other fluids apprantly came out.

the car rolls freely and it didnt stall after it stopped on top the guardrail, i put it in park and shut the engine off myself.

the transmission seems to let it shift from park to neutral withthe keys in it, i didnt restart the engine considering the coolant was gone.

ill probly need some axle work

it needs paint

i pray to god it didnt suffer frame damage

it has 88k on it

i have about $4500 on the loan left

anyone know the chances of the insurance company fixing or totaling the car??

if its totalled ill have a parts car/will be parting out...and will be looking to buy another (anyone in or near NH selling????)

i do hope its fixed

i never plan to not have an svx, if anyone has a radiator/other parts, pm me... if anyone has any advice id appreciate it... if anyone has a car for sale (better shape than mine is currently in) let me know

ill let everyone know the verdict of the insurance company when it gets towed to my gf's father's shop in canaan

its currently at the "star brake" in concord on manchester street

worst part is i had finally got it jsutthe way i wanted it
