Thanks for the well wishes everyone.
The car is definitely totalled. The passenger side of the car near the gas lid is buckled like the driver's side is below the c-pillar, just not as much. No way that car is salvagable, even for a track project. All of the rear subframe points are probably out of whack, along with the whole rear quarterpanel having to be replaced. At this point, I'm not really planning on buying any of it back for part out.
It definitely could have been much worse, but it's not really bothering me. It was over and I knew I was okay before I had time to think about what could have happened. I don't really stress over close calls or things that might have happened. Just ones that did or will.
Oddly enough Mike K, the clutch trouble more or less is why it happened. If I hadn't been a little bit late to work because of that, I wouldn't have been the one hit by him. However, there was apparently a much worse accident somewhere farther up 431. the fire truck that was the first response to the scene, and the first NHP officer that got there both hauled ass up the hill after determining we had no injuries and everything was under control, then another fire truck and another NHP flew by with lights and siren blaring. Maybe I missed out on that one for a reason...
Since I already took off some of the mods, I will post up what's for sale later.
The pic was taken from up the incline on the side of the road.
