Made a dicey left turn this evening and paid for it. I got hit on the driver's side rear quarter panel, right on the wheel. I didn't think there was much damage at all until I realized the entire axle was pushed over 6" and apparently not connected to the frame at all. Limped the few hundred feet back home after getting everything straightened out with paperwork. Surprisingly little body damage, but I suspect the rear axle mounts are completely gone. Still drives, but sounds awful. I'm pretty sure the insurance company would total it, but I only have liability so it's up to me anyway.

Anybody want a parts car? 95SR, 206k on the clock but engine rebuilt about 50k ago. Has a noisy lash adjuster, but otherwise fine. It's in Marshalltown IA and would need to be trailered.
