Hurt my car pretty bad last night!!!

I know this isn't tech(is that cliche or what??). But anyway i went to make a left hand turn into a parking lot and there was a car in the opposing lane making a left also, that car was stopped. So i went and i didn't see the car that was perfectly hidden behind the stopped car(why do focuses have to be so tall stupid frods). Anyway i got T-boned pretty good and now my iroc is going to sit for a little while. And the accident was totally my fault, but it was an honest accident. The ironic part of it is that i have done quite a bit of street racing and have not had any accidents but have had a two accidents total while normal driving . But I don't think there is any frame damage which is a good sign, but it looks like it is going to cost more to fix than i paid for the car $3,250. But i am going to fix it anyway even though i have heard from some that it isn't worth it. "Worth" is relative, one man's garbage is another man's gold. So now i will actually be able to work on the engine when i get some money up because that car isnt' moving probably till hopefully the end of the summer or a little before next year. If not then, then i will have it up and running by next spring " i garonteee, mes amis!!". That's the silver lining i guess, unfortunately i will have to get a little four banger, something that is good on gas and is pretty cheap to insure. Don't know if i will end up with an import or not but i will have lots of time to plan out an engine and some other mods. Hey, I would spend a couple of months in H E L L to spend the rest of my life in H E A V E N with my iroc with the engine i have always wanted and the fixed up interior, and handful of other goodies. And when it's all done I will let the world know, well maybe not the world but you gentlemen & LADIES here( i think that is close enough). But i am not going any where though I will continue to absorb knowledge from this site and add some of my own. Oh but to keep this from being totally non-tech (just kidding). Well thanks for listening(reading) and Good luck to the rest of you, hope you never have to go through this.
