That sucks, sorry to hear it. I know what you mean about the "but you didn't get hurt" bit, when some girl pulled out directly in front of me in my altima and I hit her doing ~50mph, people told me the same thing. The only thought going through my head was "I'll heal... my car won't."

Best of luck with the adjuster. It's been my experience that even if the kid lies through his teeth, the cops can generally tell what happened, as can the insurance companies, apparently they have some experience in this stuff. Even if he lies through his teeth he's still likely to be found 100% liable. The only problem is getting the $$ back that you put in. I've heard at times though that if you show recent receipts that are valued at more than standard upkeep, you can get more than they would have originally given you.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!
