I have an update for you guys. The guy that hit my Mustang is now on probation. He's required to pay $2,000 restitution to me for my car. It's due in full by January 17, 2009. He has to make his payments to his probation officer and the county will send me a check. If at any time, he misses a payment, he gets to go to jail for 2 years. It doesn't cover anywhere close to replacement or repair costs, but I guess the 2 grand is better than the jack diddly squat we were expecting.

That would be a good idea. If it had been insured at the time. It had been in storage for the past 6 years. We just pulled it out on a Friday with plans to start restoring it. It was hit on Sunday. My insurance company wouldn't insure it because it wasn't in my name. It was my first car, and still in my mom's name. She signed over the title to me, but we hadn't made it down town to officially have the title changed yet, so it was uninsurable at the time according to my insurance company. We'd tried to get it insured the Friday we got it out. It was too late that day to go change the title and get back to my insurance company's office. We were going Monday morning to have it changed and then I was going to insure it that afternoon. Had I checked earlier with my insurance company, I would have done all that stuff, THEN, pulled it out of storage. I really thought it would be OK for a few days. Hindsight is 20/20. Our home owners policy paid $800 because it was parked in front of the house. The drunk that hit it had no insurance, no drivers license, and several previous DWI arrests. Bad incident all around.

Wouldn't it be man-hicular vehicle slaughter?

You guys are making me miss my Mustang!!! It was recently totaled for me while parked in front of the house. Hit by a drunk driver with no license, no insurance, no nothing. Went to court, but nothing's happened with it yet. Wiping tears now just thinking about it! I got her when I was 16. ::sniffle::
