it's totaled...
my adjuster called a few hours ago and gave me the bad news. the drive axle was completely shredded, he said he's never seen one so damaged, it'd be almost $20K to fix everything. financially it isn't as big a blow as I thought it was going to be tho, they valued it at almost $17K, which is about $4000 more than we thought. I'll get about $3300 after my deductable is paid (I'll get my deductable back if they determine it was her fault) so given the fact that I've paid $8400 in two years that means I'm only out about $200 a month over all, and it isn't like I could have rented or leased a car for that much. the thing that hurts the most is just the loss of my car, I fucking loved that car, I feel like someone has died. I immediately went online and looked up other xBs but then it just didn't feel the same, I know it sounds corny but my car was special, I don't want another one, I want mine back. I'd almost feel like I was cheating on her to buy another one, if that makes any sense. I'll prolly buy a piece-o-shit car that I can get for $3000 or $4000 and then get something else in a few years. the bright side of this is that I won't have a car payment so I can put that $324 a month toward bills and the house. I realize that in the grand scheme of things it could have been a lot worse, and that I'm being a big crybaby about my car; I am alive, not really injured and I am well-off enough to get a new one. I'm just super bummed out.
