Monday night I was on my way home from the grocery store and a van pulled right out in front of me, turing left. I had no time to stop and I ended up hitting
him in the rear quarter panel and smashing my car pretty well. He took off, so it went down as a hit and run, and I had witnesses to prove it, but the point
is, now I need to decide if it's worth fixing my car or if I should just get a new one.
My car is 10 years old, with almost 150,000 miles on it. They quoted me a price of $3,800 to fix it. If I decide not to fix it, the insurance company will give me a check for that amount and I can use it as a down payment for a new car and I can donate the old one to Goodwill.
Or I can keep bugging the insurance people to total the car and give me $5000 for it and buy a new one.
Or I can just get my old one fixed. What do you think?

If I could figure out how, I'd post a pic of my smashed car.
