By the cars we drive, if we had 25,000$ worth of damage our cars would be totaled, or another way of saying it, the cost of that bumper and that oil pan exceeds the value of a lot of cars on the forum.

That's the point I was trying to make. I never said 10% damage to a car would mean it was totaled.

And you leave my short bus alone! It's easier to drive and doubles as a home when the rest of my vehicles bleed me dry from modding them!
you're effectively calling the car wrecked, implying it'd get a rebuilt/salvage title, b/c it costs more than your car.

you're making a very poor comparison

I don't understand how you are coming to that conclusion. I can't make my point any more clear. I am not calling the car wrecked.

Ok I'll dumb it down even more to the most basic form:

Our cars+ bumper and oil pan damage= Manageable and cheap to fix

compared too

Lambo+ bumper and oil pan damage= Not so manageable or cheap to fix

Hell our cars+ blown engine, transmission and front completely smashed in= less expensive then the cost of that Lambo's repair bill.

Especially when it is just an everyday guy who wrecks it. I understand his insurance is footing the bill, but that's going to be one massive bill. What does an insurance claim like that do to your quotes and payment in the long run?

Guy nobody knows wins a nicer car than most people will ever own in their lifetime, crashes it, and hes a loser and a tool.

Majority of the people who are calling him names, don't go to college and work low end jobs, so they can dump all their money into their cars that have 400+ less horse power, and than crash them....

The irony...
