- Start date
Dude, I would LOVE to do that -- but I sold the steelies as soon as I picked up those new winter wheels. I didn't have any need for two sets, after all -- but now I reeeeeeally wish I'd kept 'em!
Y'mean the huge TST one in the spring? Or is there another one goin' on that I dunno about?

Just drive the the Protege for now, sit on the cash at least untill summer. Get all of this stress outta your head so you are sure you are thinking clear. And then decide what you want to buy. There is no rush on getting a car, and im sure your dad can do with out his car, or he wouldnt have offered it to you.
P.S dont listen to any of the s*** talkers that tell you that the crash was your fault, or that your a bad driver. Its so easy to talk s*** when you have no idea. Iv had a very serious accedent that ended with a wrecked car. So i know where you are coming from. Im sure you are a great driver, and prolly even better now.
P.S.S
I honestly cannot believe that some people would have the nerve to say some of the things that i read in here. Just remember that for the most part everyone on the forums is here to support you. And the haters, we can do without.

Yeah, it was snowing when i was going to work, and the news said 2-5 inches for me. So hopefully no one else around here gets in a crash.
When i was up in Clearfield on 80 there was a car flipped over on its roof, i hope those people were good.
Whats with people on 80 speeding all the time in bad conditions.

I don't know but some of the worst accidents I've ever seen have been on 80 and 78....heading to or in PA. I guess it's the wide open roads and people out there are used to bad weather conditions so they think they're invincible? *shrug*
Any news on the car?

I just noticed this thread...and my heart is totally shocked! First off, Im really sorry for your loss. Ive read TONs of posts about your ride and I must say, this is one of most impressive msps ive seen. Clean, sleek, and exactly my personal choice of appearance. I have a lot of respect for your ride and wish you luck! Whether you buy it back or not, Its great your ok and I hope the best for you!

any numbers from Ins.?
Oh man, I just saw this. I am glad to see you are okay, and sorry to hear about the accident. If I had known Carlisle was the last time I was going to see your car in it's glory, I would have pulled out the camera before you left.
Thanks again for the support, guys. 
I did hear back from the insurance company late yesterday afternoon. While I don't want to reveal the exact numbers -- as it turns out, the salvage value of my MSP is higher than I expected. But there are other factors the came into the equation. First off, if I buy the car back, I'd have to transport it from Philly out to Harrisburg -- more money. In addition, I found out the borough where I live does NOT allow unregistered vehicles on residential property, so I'd have to pay to store the MSP in a storage unit for God only knows how long -- more money.
So combine those factors together .. and my buying the MSP back just didn't make sense. So I've decided to let it go.
I spent two hours this morning in the salvage yard, pulling off what I could and crying almost the entire time. My entire family was there with me, and when we finally decided we'd pulled off all the parts we could 'get away with' and told the salvage yard employee to come take the car away again -- all four of us stood there and watched the fork lift haul my MSP away. I was in hysterics, which got my sister bawling, which got my mother bawling, which even got my dad teary-eyed. We made a pretty big scene, LOL. Even the fork lift guy looked like he felt awful.
Right now I'm going to try my damndest to make sure that someone buys my MSP and tries to restore it, versus having vultures come and rip it slowly to pieces. Because the thing that amazes me -- that really effing KILLS me, to be completely honest -- is that THE DAMN CAR STILL RUNS. For s**** and giggles, I sat in it and turned the key and it fired right up and ran like half of its front end wasn't missing. That's what killed it, I'm pretty sure -- the frame damage up front is bad. But I'm not positive at the moment as I haven't received the paperwork yet.
And yeah, the fact that there's another snowstorm rolling in, and that I'm supposed to be driving to classes tomorrow in it -- pfft, I don't think THAT's gonna happen.

I still have the hood emblem and gas cap from my first car (it was totaled). LoL
Yeah, sorry to see your birthday is tomorrow. Damn, I wish I could come swipe the engine and tranny from it. Wheels too. Hope this works out for the best.
