Actually, no. I didn't get nearly enough to buy a Porsche turbo with the money that I got. I just want to clarify that before rumors get started (and they will I am sure).Quote:

Yes, there are always rumors by people who don't know what really happened or something along those lines. I think that they forget that I am a 29 yr old man (was 26 at the time) who makes a very good living (ie, I don't work a no-end job) in the professional business world.Quote:

Include physical therapy, testing, etc, and you tack on even more money. It sucks.
I fell into that category(not spreading, actually. Just thought to myself that) about thinking you got the car from the accident. Until I talked to you. Later, QD.Quote:

WOW.
I remember that very clearly. Glad you made it through.
I didnt read the last page until after I posted...
I deal with insurance matters everyday and I CANNOT STRESS enough that each of you do your research and carry enough insurance to cover yourself fr these situations.
I think it should be a state law to carry 100/300/50 at least in liability coverages, and for your own sake- carry that much in uninsured motorist coverage as well.
