And I just had the head gaskets replaced last month. Doesn't that count for anything?
Thank you Subaru for building a car that still functions after that.
I'm lucky he didn't hit the driver's door.

| It doesn't really look like
much, but it's enough to "total" this winestone red 2000 Subaru Outback
with 106,000 miles. The preliminary estimate to repair it is over
$7800. The insurance adjuster says the cost will only go up from there
as he finds more damage behind the body panels. The Kelly blue book
private party sale price is around $10,000 or so. GEICO won't pay
anymore than some fraction (%50?, 80%?, %90?) of the value of the car
in repairs. And I just had the head gaskets replaced last month. Doesn't that count for anything? |

| Note the lack of damage on the
rocker panel plastic (the strip below the doors). This shows that the
lower life-form who hit me (and fled the scene) never touched his
brakes as he ran that stop sign at (I'm guessing) 30 or 40 mph. The
impact knocked the Subaru up onto the sidewalk. Thank you Subaru for building a car that still functions after that. I'm lucky he didn't hit the driver's door. |
