The body shop says my daughters car is totaled, but we knew that. In retrospect, I have to see some humor in us actually getting what was left of that thing to the body shop for the declaration of DOA for that poor Saturn.Believe it or not, even with a smashed front end, and pieces falling off even after we got it to the body shop, it was still running. I imagine we looked ridiculous driving that thing over 3 miles to the body shop from our house, front end, or what was left of it, held together with duct tape, going 15mph tops, with me following close behind in my truck, at the ready to stop and put on the flashers, just in case the Saturn finally dropped dead on the street.
My poor daughter hurts all over today. I expected her too. I am calming down, but I tell you, seeing the front end of her car wedged under that pick-up truck yesterday was terrifying to me, as a Mom.I didn't see her when I pulled up, and that totally freaked me out. The cop told me she was inside the peoples house who's truck she hit. They were calming her down, and comforting her. She got lots of hugs and assurance from them. God watched over her, as she was not seriously hurt. I hope God Blesses the owners of the truck for the kindness they showed to my daughter.We know these people slightly, but not real well.
Now for the battle with the insurance company. She has full coverage, but we know she will not get enough to replace the car with something comparable.We are prepared to haggle, as the car was in perfect condition, not a scratch on it, and low miles.As some of you know, my daughter won that car 2 years ago in a contest. It was listed for $6,500.Here is the vid from when she won it.
