I see your looking into wheels as well...LOL planning ahead I see.

Man, good thing you didn't have a passenger!
I would get on the horn with the other person's insurance and get a loaner ASAP (and make sure you keep all receipts of any transportation costs in the meantime, ie. cabs) because it's totally ridiculous that you are out transportation because of this. Oh, and if the bodyshop doesn't seem to give a crap, can't you go to another one?
Don't worry, if the cops says there were witnesses and you've got the police report, things should be fine, it'll just take some time. Good luck!

it doesn't look TOO bad... although it doesn't look the greatest. I est about 13-15 grand in parts and labor assuming side curtain and seat air bag went off... unless you have an 05 and up and no one was occupied in the Pass seat (sorry, didn't read whole post) . sorry for your loss
Wow . . . That's a far cry from when I saw your G the last time over at Scott Performance, Ken. Geez, maintain and deal with the other insurance company. See what they will offer you. Would you happen to have a copy of the accident report? There might be some useful info in there.

Sorry to hear about your loss and I'm glad that you're doing ok. Just make sure that you don't settle your claim with the other insurance company too quickly because they'll want you to settle as soon as possible to avoid paying more money. Best of luck.
Damn Ken...glad your ok...!
Sometimes I love my car, Sometimes I hate it..specially with a 6MT in San Francisco....UGH...wished I got an automatic at times.
Which bodyshop did they take it to? Go see a chiropractor too....Did your parents flip out on you? As long as you're ok man...I know what's it's like to get smooshed like that...
What kind of SUV hit you and what kind of driver?
Were they arrested?
BoBs - Gung Hai Fat Choi man...!

Hey Man, make sure you're really ok too.
I hit a deer on the fwy years ago and it was kind of a front quarter impact. At first I just had a stiff neck, but about a week later I was in a neck brace.

. I still have a bad feeling about this accident. It seems like this is not the ending yet...
the report was out in this morning! There were 5 witnesses accounted. 4 of them said the other guy didn't yeild/stop for red light. 1 of them didn't see anything, was there to help. Now, i can finally sleep a little better tonight. I hope my car will be back on the road soon.
