Re: 1997 ITR #347, you will be greatly missed. (infulleffect)
I am not sure if I should post the damage pics and make them public or not. 
EDIT:
If you have sent me a PM, and have not gotten a reply, I am sorry. I am ignoring most PM's at the moment, especially from vultures. I just have a lot to deal with and it is hard for me to keep up with the many PM's I am getting. Please be patient. The best method to contact me is via phone. If you dont know my number, then call someone who does.

It spills more oil than the Exxon Valdez and occasionally spontaneously cumbusts, but damn it's fast. You really want something like that to have a headache over?

Re: 1997 ITR #347, you will be greatly missed. (RTW DC2R)
UPDATE:
I will not be posting the pics in this thread, because I do not feel like hearing unnecessary comments from asshats that lurk around. That being said, I will gladly share some of the pictures with individuals if they ask.
Moving on.. Yes, the SOB was caught. There is a bank at the intersection where the accident happened, and an outside camera was able to catch his plate. The state police picked him up after a warrant was issued. This actually complicates things in a way, but for the best..
How you may ask? Well, my insurance company, and 2 other body shops, said the structural integrity of the vehicle has NOT been compromised. On the down side, the loss value (damages) are about equal to the cars value. My insurance company was tetter-tottering wether to total the vehicle or not, and my adjuster was VERY accommodating and was going far out of his way to help me. That being said, it is no longer my insurance companies decision. Since asshat has been caught, it now falls under his insurance liability. Because of this, I have hired an attorney. We have video, police records, the SUV in police impound, and more than enough to take this guy to the cleaners. The ITR will live again, and we will fight DAMN hard to make sure it is not totaled. It will be a legal battle with his insurance, and my insurance company is happy to help. I plan to rake his *** over the coals. As far as legal fee's, I will not have to pay anything out of pocket.
Overall, it's a sad situation, and I am really distraught over the entire thing. On the plus side, there will be a resolution, however, it may be a messy legal battle.

whatever the outcome though, you should come out on top. Way too much evidence against that jackass. Can't wait to see the R back out there in one piece again.

It may be many months before that happens, if it does infact happen.

would it just be better to buy it back and find a shell ?
Thats if it comes down to that, i just dont see why you would want to rebuild a car that has such extensive damage.
I mean get the true value of ur car back, but me think it would be better to put the motor in a shell.

any idea why the guy left the scene?? do we know if he was drunk or high or anything? might have gotten caught too late to tell. either way ******** needs to pay.
side note, back when my interior was stolen while my car was at a shop (see sig), its obvious that I was not at fault, and the owner of the shop was liable since the car was on his property, and it was not locked or secured by a gate. anyway, since the issue went to court (I dont know if it was ever resolved in court or not) and was basically a battle between my insurance and his, rather than wait, my insurance basically decided to total the car, and then go after the other insurance company to get their money back. so they totalled it, i bought it back, and it worked out so damn well for me. my insurance gave me a good value on the car (more than I actually paid for it) because they knew they were going to get their money back. Brad do you think its an option for your insurance company to just total the car for you, let you buy it back, and then when the issue goes to court, they will get their money back? I dont know all the legalities and such, but Im under the impression thats what happened in my case. might be different in PA or something.

The problem with that is that he will have a salvage title if it's done that way. Since the other guy is at a severe legal disadvantage, he should be able to get the other guys insurance to not only return his car to mint condition, but to pay him for his time spent on all this, his lawyer, his rental car, any other expenses, plus maybe a few thousand dollars just to make him happy enough not to sue their asses off.
So, why would he want to settle for a salvage title?

i guess it depends if he wants the car back for parts, or to get it back running again.
as far as a salvage title, doesnt matter. if he decided to sell it one day, he would still have to disclose the car was in an accident, probably have to show pics, etc, and that alone is enough to turn people away, salvage title or not.

Re: (RTW DC2R)
If they total it, it becomes an "R" title (no pun intended) and he might not want that for the value of the car...?....financially totalling the car and buying it back may more profitable for him...but at the price of an "R" title for the R.

Re: (infulleffect)
They have no real reason to want to total the car if Brad doesn't want them too. They should be pretty willing to pay out at least $20k (the minimum liability coverage), since a law suit is likely to cost them at least that, since they would likely have to spend that much going to court. They would likely lose and be forced to pay Brad's lawyer as well as AT LEAST paying the value of the car, etc.
So, they should be very interested in making Brad happy, at least up to $20K, probably a bit more.
