Sorry to see your loss man. That is heartbreaking!!
As for insurance - in CA, insurance follows the car - NOT the driver. The drivers insurance would only go into effect as excess coverage if you exhaust your limits - which you will not since you'll be using your collision coverage due to it being a solo vehicle loss. So as long as your policy doesn't have permissive driver exclusions, your carrier should provide coverage and take care of the car (also as long as you have collision coverage).
The driver of your vehicle will be considered at-fault for losing control and more than likely your premiums will increase from this loss. As for diminished value claims -- good luck. Thats fighting a losing battle with insurance companies. If I were you, I'd take the payout if its totalled and move on. Its not worth the hassle owner retaining a total and making it driveable again....unless you want to. If they don't total it, hopefully you'll choose a reputable body shop that will take great care in the vehicle repairs.
Keep us posted and again - very sorry to see a beautiful car get taken out by someone's stupidity. Lesson learned

Totaled
That sucks
That sucks
If you decide to part it out let me know.i got a buddy who'd be interested
Sorry for your loss.
And people ask why were so anal about our cars when people ask to drive them.
No shit - I can't tell you how many times someone has said "awww, come on, nothings gonna happen..."
Damn right, cuz no one's driving it but me
LMAO - same here
That brings a tear to my eye
Looking at the pictures, there's probably a decent possibility that the rear suspension and axle assembly has some damage. That would be another area where you'd be adding quite a bit of money to a repair bill. Given that this is a 2006, unless it's a super low mile example, I would say you're probably going to be close enough to total loss threshold that you'll be offered a settlement.
EDIT: Also get the driver's insurance information. The accident was caused under his control and in most areas his insurance will cover him while driving another car.[/QUOTE]
Yes only has 15K on it
LOL no I will get another one probably
I blue booked it and it was still shouwing value at 49K-51K with 15Kmi on it in excellent condition witch it was.

sorry OP, better the car is smashed then you guys being harmed
That was painful to look at, sorry for your loss.
yep, have had one or two ass pucker moments in my old C5Z, fortunately no wreck. The rear end snapping around is harrowing, not much warning as it almost seems happen instantly..
If it is totaled your prolly gonna get cashed out from your insurance company because that car is really worth 39-42k but if they give you blue book of 49-51k you made out. Just sucks that you had to lose your car
