SUE THE GOD DAMNED PARENTS OF THAT DUMB ASS MOTHERFùCKING DOUCHEBAG!!!!!!!! Sue for loss of property, bodily harm, and tack on mental anguish for good measure.
How can they only offer $1,200? Someone just got $4,500 in a settlement for their stock 98. Only a four year difference in the same generation, there can't be that big a gap in assessed value... Just straighten out any structural damage and drive it anyway, unless your title has already been ruined and your vehicle registration requirements are strict. Worst case find a GT with a blown engine to transplant everything into. Still this is fùcking unbelievable, I feel so sorry for you.

It's difficult, but you gotta keep in mind that my shell has 255,000 miles on it. She's had a good long life.

Still, the insurance company is full of it. Even the low-balling KBB private value is over $1,500... I'm going to punch some trees down.

Ben, if you want another GT I'm sure we can find one with less than 255k miles on it for cheap here in NC.
Either way, keep in touch with your next car/moves - I'm sure you'll do another great build even if it's on another platform. -------------------- Has no more Celicas

I was going to take my girlfriends car, but she loves it too much. She won't let me use it. And I've looked around. These cars are hard to find in good shape.

Wait... So what does settlement refused mean.... They aren't giving you anything? I'm with Box on this one. But seriously, that sucks big time.... Hopefully the right thing will pop up for you at the right time, whether it be 6GC or not. -------------------- SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

I was genuinely angrier than usual, thanks a lot. That being said glad things are halfway working out.

But in such a cruel and unusual manner? With friends like you who needs enemies?
So this means you got a decent settlement and there's minor to zero structural damage? -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Looks to be mostly cosmetic, but the cosmetic stuff that got messed up is pretty bad. I'm going to start pulling it apart tomorrow, and hopefully won't have to add anything else to my already annoyingly long list. Either way I think i'm going to add some extra structural support up front for the next a$$hole that decides to hit me freaking head on!

Solid steel crash bar, I'm feeling it. Should add some air horns while you're at it, if they can't see you they'll hear you.
