no way in hell that car could be fixed. It will never pass the safety test ever again. And if, by some miracle, it passes the test, I feel terribly bad for whoever will be driving this car.
You wouldn't even be able to part out this car, there is not a thing that is still worth any $$$

BTW - it was a Zipcar - hourly rental (great service BTW) - here's one more photo of the back of the car and you can see the Zipcar label.
The car was in front of this shop for a number of days and then it was gone. I'm kind of wondering if it wasn't towed ("flatbed-ed" is probably much more accurate a word) in from the accident sight - sort of standard procedure - waiting for an insurance appraiser to evaluate it. I agree it looks like a total - but I doubt any insurance would pay out until their folks take a look.
Also wondering if you could figure out what happened to it by the plate # - maybe some database of accidents?

Found one more - here's the last of my shots I took.
Definitely seems to have overturned in dirt (which is relatively hard to do in Manhattan where it was found - although the West Side Highway is very, very near the body shop - there are some embankments/grass/dirt it could have found there.)

But what would have happened to those people if it had been a collision from the rear?
