DUDE! I am so sorry about your accident! I am glad to hear you're ok tho - and I can totally relate since my Hot Lava was just totalled. I am looking for another car and after 2 Scion xBs I just can't picture myself having anything else - - - or paying more for gas! I will start looking at some used xBs today (I hear there is a pretty sweet torched penny on the classifieds for sale )

Glad you're ok. Cars are replaceable; people are not.

How's the kid that hit you?

The kid.... well physically he is ok.

Sadly he didn't seem to learn from his mistake. The only thing I hear is that he seems to wear this accident as a batch of honor. He goes around town bragging that he was the one that caused the accident.

LOL, sorry dude I rather had the stone in my window ;)

I was rather supriced how many windows did survive!
The police report acctually states that he hit me going 45mph. Considering that my Scion Did very well! Just don't want to imagine what would have happened if I had someone in that passanger seat!

Im sorry to here that man... however, I do have one funny thign to point out:
"http://www.laqua.com/pics/main.php?g2_itemId=3509"

if you hit up that link, the truck behind your box says "boxes in colour, enhance your product's image"

Considering the punishment the box took, and how well you faired, I think thats right on the money.

well... technically..his insurance will pay... he should have insurance considering you're in ga and ga requires that you have ins to drive the car... if he doesn't then he will probably go to jail.. his parents will me liable.. you can sue his parents for just about everything they got if the car is not insured... i'm sure you won't do that.. and i'm sure that they have ins on the car... i'm sure the car is insured for the parents to drive but he is driving the car.. considering this, the premium for their ins will go up.. drastically..
also... depending on the damage... and the cost to the ins company... they might drop the parents from their policy... if that happens then the kid's dl will be revoked for about 6 mos to a yr... all in all.. let us know what happens

I got my new Box. I went with the 08. there is things I like so far, also some things I dislike. I post some pictures and details on my feelings soon.

No new on th Insurance battle. I got transfered to the third person / agent now and not really making any headway. Looks like the laywer will get going soon. Sad that one can't get by without anymore.
