What a waste, is it insured? Why didn't the insurance company write it off with that much damage?

Yes, the kid that hit me had insurance, they're paying the entire bill.

Not enough to be totaled, see above post.

a car is totalled when the cost to repair is more than the total value of the car.

ohh ohh can I be part of the club too? I know mine is PPW and not silver stone but pretty please.

what is up with Z's gettin hit in the right rear quater panel.


seriously though it's been like 4 month since june when the accident happened and my insurance company just fixed more undiscovered damage earlier today only to find more.

get ready for a very frustrating couple of months. I am very sorry for you.





ohh yeah also in the neighborhood of around 12,000

Sorry

what ever. the only way to help prevent such things is with experience and there is no other way to gain experience. some times mistakes happen but that's all part of growing up. always will be no matter what. by raising the driving age you will just be delaying the inevitable.
