That really sucks about the car. Glad you're ok though. Things balance out in the end. Parts of the last 2 1/2 years since I left Fort Knox (and especially the year from Nov 2009 to Nov 2010) really sucked. But if I had stayed on Active Duty I would have never had the GTP (which lead me to joining here and meeting some awesome people), I'd still be struggling with all kinds of bodywork on that 79 Camaro that was far more rotted out then I ever thought when I bought it, and I almost certainly would not have the 73 or the 01 Monte. Not to mention I wouldn't have met someone who is now very dear to me (she knows who she is). It sucks at the time that you're going through things but looking back I wouldn't change a thing. I hope things work out for you as well with all this. Again, it's good that you still have your health (I did not have mine for quite a while after my wreck). Like everyone has said, machines can be replaced. People can't.

That's stink. At least you are okay.

Ouch. I think it will be totalled for sure. Air bag system cost big time.

It's totaled without question. I hope no one was in the passenger seat.. Although the air bag was deployed so I am guessing there was.

Thank heavens no one else was involved, just the 2 cars and myself. I am on the phone with USAA and it has been totaled, they are offering me $9,545.91 for the car and that includes most of the everything that was done to the car. I am verifying weather or not that also included the gauges and a few other things. The appraiser gave it an above average rating, and guess what I get to take my gauges, SPO spoiler and a couple of other things. He said it was very easy to spot, said it stood out for being well maintained.

Wow, They gave you a good chunk of change for it, And they are going to let you remove some of the aftermarket parts! I guess you did as good as you possibly could have.

Yes they did, I was surprised they gave me that amount too and are letting me take the gauges and spoiler. I questioned a few other parts, they said I could have them, but they would have to reappraise the car. I said not worth it I will take what you are offering for the car.

Ouch is an understatement!! Count your blessings Laura....I know you are.

When my 1st GP got totaled the salesman from the dealership that I bought it from was arguing with the insurance company to convince they to give me more $. He was like, "this car looks better that then when I sold it to him." Long store short, he did get me like another $1000 for it....which I spent with him on a Caddy.
