of dollars you soaked into your car will be mostly useless?

I wonder if everyone had money wrapped up in thier cars if people would be more careful and attentive when driving.

Default Been There....Done That with my last car.

Spent a few grand on mods to my '94 Mazda 626......and wham....an 90 year old woman plowed me from behind a t a stop and totalled my car. I was able to get some parts off but not all. I had just paid the car off 3 months before too.

It sucks.

Default 86K is really just a number IMO.

my father has a stock mitsu van he has had for 290K, it runs fine as well.

Mike O has 200K on his A4. I have at least another 114 K left before I consider it old.

Besides this time next week I should be at 90K.

Default Yeah I worried and then IT HAPPENED!!!!!!!

<center><img src="http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v294/PA_B5/f7a35d4e.jpg"></center><p>You all better have good insurance and not with PROGRESSIVE. Check with your local body and service shop and ask who they like to deal with because the extra $$$$ every 6 months will be worth it and will prevent the aggrivation I have gone through for this. You get some dumb *** BITCH who can't speak english and can't read our street signs running a stop sign in an industrial park at 35mph the day you decide to take it slow and then you get t-boned.

Mine looked similar after I got T-boned from a Cube Van making a left turn. As I was getting out of the car, the Van took off and I never got a license plate. Had to pay for repairs out of my own pocket since the company's fleet insurance may have gone up from $250,000 to $800,000 if I had made a claim.

In total, repairs cost 7 grand CAD.

Looks like a Lincoln hit you. Your roof line looks Ok. Very fixable.
