The collision took place in Connecticut, so it's 100% the other person's fault. My rates may go up a hair, but the other company is paying 100% on the damages, and the rental car until mine is fixed .

The frame was totally untouched, so there's still hope for it driving just as well as it did when I took it off the lot... time will tell, though that thought certainly crossed my mind.

Hmmm thats a good questions as to whether the fault law is in concern to the state it takes place in or the state you're insured in.

Still though Id go to bat to have it totaled. Just think about the fact that 10 years down the road when you go to sell it the people that will walk away cause carfax shows a major accident...
