At the moment, I do not even want to own a car or ever drive again *sob* whish is a very sad state of affairs for me.



I shared your present feelings with my 16 year old (in 1989) daughter.
As a high school grad present, we bought her a used '82 VW Scirocco (her dream car). After babying & detailing it, 30 days later, a car made a u-turn in front of her & she T-boned "Mr. Oops". No one hurt, but VW was declared unfit for human driving. Her exact words the night of the wreck, "I never want to drive again" (sob-sob)!!!
The car turned out to be drivable. I bought it from the insurance company & parked it beside my house with a cover over it. Two weeks later, we found another '82 Scirocco, & she forgot about the "I'll never drive again" refrain. She kept that 2nd Scirocco for 5 more years. The wrecked one donated an engine & lots of unboltable parts. After she bought another car, I wound up driving the VW on nice spring days for three more years. She's almost thirty now & hasn't had another accident since.
I hope all works out in your favor. Hopefully you've used up all your bad luck in one fell swoop.
Now, get busy healing yourself, & start SVX shopping!

Best wishes, Ron.
