well my car got f'ed up. t boned!

First, I'm sorry to hear about this. Second, you can fix that, it's not to bad. 3RD, that guy was way over on your side and going way to fast. You can see in the picture he could have gotten over another 10 feet or more and he was not in control of his car anymore skidding in a straight line w/o anti lock brakes. I'd take those pictures to the police and if not them, file a claim in small claims court. An honest judge can look at that and see pretty obvious fault, regardless of the police report. Our traffic guys around here definitely assign fault.

My first car died a similar death by Honda. It was a 68 Satellite convertible I had worked a year on before I even had my license. I had only driven it about 5 times and it was parked in front of my house when a girl in a Honda supposedly swerved to miss a cat and rear ended it going at least 30mph. She cut her chin on the console somehow so me thinks she was reaching down to get something. At least the insurance company paid me but I still think they screwed me with a $2500 check. Granted that was 1984 but still it was a pretty decent car before it got hit. Funny thing was a few years back I was cruising a big Mopar junk yard 60 miles from here for Barracuda parts and found the old Satellite. Sort of made me want to make an offer but it was bad.

Similar story with my dad back in 1983 we were looking for parts for my Satellite and were in a junkyard 250 miles away when we came across one of his first cars. He recognized a zebra tuck and roll job he had done in Tijuana. That car wasn't his first or his favorite so it inspired us to track down his first car a 1954 Chevy convertable with a motor out of a new 1963 Chevy Corvette. He sold that car in 1965 to buy the car we found in the yard. We did end up finding where his convertable was but it was wrecked and then used as fill dirt to fill a ditch on the dad's farm fo the kid he sold it to! My dad was ready to start diggin when I dragged him out of there!

Long story short, if you like your waggon then don't let it get away to easilly.
