It don't take much for them to total one out with the costs of repairs nowdays. Rie is STILL upset over her being rear ended several years ago. She loved that old van she had and she HATES the new one..

Ouch!! I'm glad everyone is okay. I know the feeling. I had just had new tires and stuff put on my Grand Am when a teen T-boned me. Insurance totaled it but they gave me money towards the tires since I had a reciept. You should find out if you can get some money on that.

Thank heavens no one was injured, you're right - it could have been MUCH worse. Prayers going out that they recover quickly.

The insurance adjustor called today. He's going to go look at it tomorrow, and see what kind of condition it was in, how many miles it had on it, what features it had, etc. Then he'll pass the information along to a team of three people at the Insurance office and they'll determine what it's value would have been prior to the accident. They'll offer us the value that they decide it was worth. I told him it has two new front tires, new front brakes, a new battery, and a FULL tank of gas in it! He said the tires might add to it's value a little. I think I'll ask if we can have the battery, and we might try to siphon some of the gas out of it if they'll let us. I hate to lose a whole tank of gas, at the price gas is these days! That's something we can definitely use in our pickup and lawnmower, etc.

He's supposed to call me at work or on my cell phone sometime tomorrow afternoon. I hope we get enough from it to help us get something to replace it! It was a good van.
