I was not aware of this rule! I guess I got off cheap, since I still don't feel like anything is wrong with my neck, the pain in my head is still there but barely noticeable, I have all my limbs ...<br /><br />It's been a long while since I've been in an accident. I guess it was just time. Poopyheaded statistics ...<br /><br />The good news is that we 'only' owe a little over a thousand on the red car. I had to sit down after I heard that. It still smarts, but that's nothing like the doom and gloom numbers I had in my head when I first heard the car was totaled. I just had no idea what that meant and how it worked--now I get it. Sort of. I'm liking my insurance company right now. I think they're giving me a fair price on the car (though naturally I wished it was just a bit more so that the remaining loan would be paid off.)Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531243633193697440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-20575993197081388582009-08-12T16:58:17.977-07:002009-08-12T16:58:17.977-07:00Hi Kami,

Jill totaled hers just this year, and I have totaled at least 3 (2 were technically my fault).<br /><br />Joe.killshot80https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320190788895453224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-55241703207851207992009-08-12T14:00:42.629-07:002009-08-12T14:00:42.629-07:00Thanks again for the sympathies.

When it stopped running we took it off the insurance until it could get fixed. To qualify it has to have been insured within the last year. Plus, it gets too good of gas mileage. The good news is that I like that little car. I'll probably fix it up and turn it back into the Pikachu mobile.<br /><br />So there's good to be found.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531243633193697440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-31094013265004633752009-08-12T09:42:20.809-07:002009-08-12T09:42:20.809-07:00Oh, this is awful.

Turning the ...Thanks for the well wishes everyone!<br /><br />Turning the No Go into Cash for Clunkers is high on my list. It's not running right now, and it's my understanding that it has to be running to qualify. I'm going to ask my favorite dealership about this before I do a darned thing. The reverse side of that is that if we go for a Cash for Clunkers, it would mean a new car. With new payments. But, our payments may be lower than on the red car and get paid off sooner, depending on what we get, so we may still end up okay. When you figure in what it'll cost to pay off the red car loan, things look less rosy, but I like the banks I work with and they may be able to wave their own magic wand and make this better.<br /><br />I just got off the phone and found out the cost of repairing the Car of Death will be double of what I expected based on their rough estimate yesterday. I have to process this. *head desk*Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531243633193697440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257204.post-13977952279400948502009-08-11T07:21:46.678-07:002009-08-11T07:21:46.678-07:00I'm glad you weren't hurt!

Not sure another car payment is what you need right now, of course, but thought I'd mention it.<br /><br />I hope you can shake off the heebies. Take care of yourself.C.

Maybe my Darling brother won't notice it in the driveway? He'll be so thrilled to be home and have you in one piece, he gets caught up in your delusions, you wave the wand and he sees a little $400 clunker?<br /><br />Food is a good start. And you may be able to write about someone with worse problems, but hard put to create someone with more resilience than you.<br /><br />I hope you feel better, and wishing you luck finding the perfect replacement at the right price.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241218709688900676noreply@blogger.com
