Still waiting to hear back from insurance. I think it's a done deal though. Too much structural damage to the passenger compartment. My TL is only 3 months old and there wer a few other cars involved. It could have been worse and wiped out both our cars. Gotta keep positive. Still sucks though

Heavy rains saturated the ground, combined with 60MPH winds and the fact that the Eucalyptus trees were overgrown and characteristically have very shallow roots. 4 trees came down in our condo complex and many others around the area.

It's always sad to see a CL damaged (especially a SMR one, since I drive the same color).
I might work out better for you if it's totaled. It's probably worth more on paper then what a dealer or private seller would pay for it.

But he's right, try to get it a totalled status.

Sorry to hear about the car.
We had a tree fall in our front yard too, landed RIGHT in between our CL-S and our previa. The tree clipped the front end of our previa though.
Do you live in old Scripps area? I live just up the road in Legacy.

Sorry to hear about your predicament. I had a similar incident, only that I was driving and lucky to be alive. I had a hydroplane accident on I-380 2 days before Christmas. I spun out several times hitting another car and I ended up hitting a lightpole broadside. I walked away only with a bad cut on my head from the moonroof accordianing inside the car. I seem to can't post the attachment of a pic of the car though.
