Oh, and, let me know what he says about replacing those headlights. I'm curious how mine will handle me when I get mine

I will keep everybody updated for sure! Thanks again to everybody on this thread and forum for your support and well-wishes. This past week or two has been pretty stressful at work and this definitely didn't help. But it looks like things are turning for the better now!
Didn't see this thread till just now -- sucks 'bout your accident, but it's great news that you'll be gettin' the P5 back!
And WTF, you should've just slapped that cop when he wrote you a ticket for following too close. How asinine. The one accident I had in my MSP (I was coming around a corner, wasn't speeding, hit a bunch of loose gravel from a washout that had spread onto the road from a bad storm the night before, spun out, slammed into a guard rail), the cops were very nice and helped me through everything. It's a shame you got stuck with an assbag.
Keep on keepin' us posted on repairs -- AND the court stuff.

unofficially yes. The estimate hasn't come in yet but the insurance adjuster told the shop that he was confident it would be fixed and not totaled. Sure would suck if all of a sudden they came back to me on Monday and told me it was totaled! (nailbyt)

i recovered from a 50 foot skid on black ice in my lil red wagon once. then, a couple of months later, a lady ran a light and i t-boned her at about 40-45 mph. totaled. i am just happy for you in that you get yours back after it is fixed. it sucks pretty bad losing one.

bad news everybody...
I just got off the phone with State Farm. The adjuster was wrong - the estimate came in at $8000, and that's only after the visual inspection. So the "actual" costs of repairing the car would be more once the car starts getting torn down. The car is totaled.
After all the taxes and deductible and everything, State Farm is able to cut me a check for $10k for the car. If I decide to buy it back, they'll give me the car and $8200. As much as I want to repair the car because I love my p5, I don't really have to time to make it work. Plus it will have a salvaged titled which means balls for resale value. Furthermore, CT law makes it really difficult to register the car once it's been repaired. Once the car has been repaired, I can't drive it to the DMV, I have to have it flatbedded to the DMV for inspection. And then if it passes, I can finally register it.
So after all is said and done, I think it would be best to call it totaled and just take the cash and look for another car. Unless anybody has any really clever ideas...

Nope..but I know I sure would like those tails....
Just take the Cash..take your mods..and if you like the P5 that much..Buy anoter one....But even better would be go ahead and buy a speed.
You can easily get into a nice speed for under $10K and you wont need to do the turbo upgrade..its already done for you....(evil)
