between cafe crepe and blenz on every block there is no excuse to run out of cheap coffee in vancouver. the strongest argument for cutting down on your coffee expense is to drink less entirely.

fuck fuck fuck the insurance company says i did $3700 in damage to the car and it's totaled.
jhocking:
How old is the car? They might have simply assessed "well the car is totaled, here is the total value of the vehicle."

I'm losing track of forums/threads. Did we talk about the "salvage" option on totalled cars here recently? Where you can take the money the insurance company offers you, then do enough repairs to make the car safe/drivable, but leave out cosmetics. Sometimes this means you can get enough extra time out of the car if you can't afford to get a new/different one.
What happens then is that the title on the car is marked as "salvage", and it cannot be insured for damage itself, and it cannot be sold or traded in later except at salvage value (which is practically nothing). You simply buy liability insurance to satisfy legal requirements for driving in your particular state.
Depending on circumstances and actual damage, it can be a viable alternative to letting the insurance company take title and trash the car.
