5/13 @ 11am : Just heard from the claims adjuster from my insurance company. Repairs would cost about 225% of the estimated value of the car.  T3 is offically totalled. :(

The adjuster did say the car was in excellent shape for the number of miles it had on it. He even rated the seats, carpet and interior as good instead of minor wear which he said was pretty amazing considering the car had over 140,000 miles on it. And, he did take my new tires into consideration as well as the upgraded features of the car such as the Mach audio system, leather seats, CD changer, etc. Damn, I’m going to miss this car!

5/13 @ 1pm : I got a copy of the police report. V1 is the guy who hit me, we are V2 and V3 was the car in front of us.
