Glad you're OK. I would think that's it's definitely totaled. Looks like it's crumple zones did their job. Say what you will, modern cars are a lot safer since they started doing crash testing.

Indeed and I see deployed air bags too. Our automotive safety has come a long ways from no seatbelts and steel dashboards.

Jim and Maureen, glad you’re not injured but I’m sure your sore as all get out.

well, that didn't take long .... about an hour ago I got a call from a tow company that our insurance company had contacted them to haul the Camaro to a salvage yard .... as noted in several comments, the decision to total it comes as no surprise

Sorry for your loss of the car Jim but not surprised either. From the pics you posted, I was pretty sure it was a total.
Once again though, I'm sure glad you and Maureen are ok.

Always happy to find friends aren't injured in accidents. Glad the Grandson wasn't in the car. I drove a charger for a while as a patrol unit and when they asked who wanted the 4x4, I was quick to volunteer. Easier to get in and out of, and it was a tank. I trusted myself, but NOT everyone else.

Wow, just saw this. Glad you both came through this ok. That came very close to being a wreck with serious injuries.
