She has seen my choice of forums before and winced. I told her: "Mom, I got to know the enemy."

The adjusters looked at it priced it and said this: They pay off the loan I had out on it (I paid half cash, half loan for the car) and give me $4k. I can buy the car from them for $2K. The car was looked at and the rear axle broke, along with numerous other stuff under there. (On a side note, when we were in the ditch, wrecked, I had to turn the car off.) My Mom (still mad, though relieved) is going to accept today. She told me my next vehicle will be mostly stock.
Fortunately some cars only take a few mods to bump up their performance considerably. I'm curious as to if your insurance is going up and if so by how much. Were the police involved at all?

No kidding. I could never wear a blue oval (unless I'm freakishly rich and need one for my car collection). I wasn't raised that way, and I breath, eat, and sleep GM.
I used to say the same thing when i had my lt1.......but i turned.

I am also mainly a big GM guy, but I also like a lot of Mopar stuff and there are a coupla Fords I'd like to have, like an '87-91 5.0 LX hatch or a Lightning. Mach 1's are cool, too.
Oh, yeah, I go pretty crazy when a Terminator goes by or when I see a SRT10 Ram. But as awesome as those vehicles are, I'd have to be uber rich before I buy one.

*DONE*

Insurance paid off my loand and I have $4k to buy a new car. I've already found it: a '95 Z28 M6. I'm coming for it...

Not enough moolah for a good one. I can get a good LT1 in my price range, though.
