Hi James.

I'm really glad you came out of the crash okay. That's awful about 
your car, though it would clearly seem to be the other party's fault, 
at least. That's too bad about your hood, and fenders. It didn't 
hear you say that your windshield was broken, or that the fuel tank 
ruptured. It's probable that you could fix your car, even if it's 
totalled by definition, if the windshield survived, meaning that the 
damage is limited to the part in front of the front wall of the 
passenger compartment. I hope you can work something out with your 
insurance company that lets you keep your car, and put the money back 
into it to repair it, but with the economy as it is, one couldn't 
blame you for taking the money and running and unloading your car. 

Good luck,
Rick Gendreau
