Wow man. Sorry to hear.
I came down here to Virginia from upstate New York, on January 7th.
On January 8th, Day 2, I'm driving back to the apartments from Richmond International and I'm sitting behind a line of cars at a red light, when a woman slams into my rear bumper at about 40 mph. First accident I've ever been involved in, and I was just sitting there minding my business.
I did see her coming and I stepped harder on my brake to try to save the guy in front of me, but i still bumped him a little bit.
(Some details about my truck: bought it this passed summer for $3500 - 1991 toyota pickup, manual 4WD extended cab SR5, power everything, sunroof, big tires, cruise control... the works.)
So her shtty insurance company lowballs the crap out of me and says my truck is totaled, but they can give me about $1100. My lowest estimate, out of 3, was $2500. I battled them for about a month and they finally cut me a check for $3247. so now i'm just gonna fix the truck myself and pocket about $2000
so it ended up working out, but it wasn't a very nice "welcome to virginia"... and this state hasn't grown on me at all since then. no offense to any virginians that might be reading this, but the people here are... well... not so easy on the eyes. and they all freak out when it rains or snows.
one thing is nice though, when its 45 degrees at home, its 65 here. good thing i will be out of here by time its 110 in the summer.
anyways, ive never had anything significant stolen from me, cept a few hundred bucks out of my room once, but i hope you get back/replace whatever you can and it works out. good luck with the program. i'm enjoying ATP and i can't complain (too much)
cheers
