Parting it out I believe is the intended meaning.

The first car I totaled was a 1987 Buick lesabre. Was stopped on a street, person in front of me was turning across traffic. The person turned, but before I had a chance to go, the idiot woman behind me hit me doing 50-60 mph. Somehow my hand on the steering wheel moved the car into the on coming traffic at 90 degrees. So then i get T-Boned (guy was doing about 40 mph, he had time to tap the brakes) on the passenger side and spun around 3-4 times until I jump a curb and my front passenger quarter panel hits a telephone pole. The rear axle is off the car, the front rim/tire on the passenger side is off the car, the trunk lid is in the back seat, the rear glass is gone, the passenger side door is crushed 25% into the interior, the back drivers side window is gone, my glasses (which were wrap around Ray-Bans) were in the back seat. And a rod from inside a roll down shade (if you take on apart, the rod is what the shade wraps up on) was sticking out of where the window was in the passenger side rear window, pointing straight up. To this day, I don't know how the that happened. I come to, people are screaming at me, because my foot is on the gas, engine is revving, but not going anywhere, because I only have one wheel left. I was 17 at the time and did not have a scratch on me. Sore the next day, but that was it. I have pictures somewhere. If I can find them, I will post later. I am just glad that my Dad took my car to work at the time. I had a 86 Civic. If I had been in that car, well...

The second car I totaled was my 86 Civic. I am at a fraternity party, sitting outside and my car is parked on the street. This is a two way stop, and the person at the stop sign starts to go, but does not see the car getting ready to T-Bone him. He sees the car after he is in the intersection, floors his car, which causes him to loose control, rear ends my parked Civic doing ???mph, which then causes my civic to go underneath the car in front of it. Civic was still drove and got it from the insurance company as partial payment. Parted it out somewhat (New engine only had about 25k on it) and then took it to a yard. Loved that car.

Only truck i totaled. When to go around a slight turn in the road and the whole truck wouldnt turn. The steering wheel was cranked but i just kept sliding. There was a car coming the othere way and he tried to avoid me but couldnt do anything. He we met up and i hit him pretty much head on. His van was trash no match for the metal body of the chevy lol. But i was 17 and i only payed 850 for it. There was no way i was spending money to fix it up sold it for parts as a whole for 350 lol and now i own a ford!!!!!
