After all the hard work, it is totaled.

Did that wheel get torn off from a curb??
Nope, just from hitting the dirt.

The pressure pushed the rear end, broke the shocks off, dented the back of the quarter panel, the whole quarter panel is out of alignment now (dented up on roof and squeezed in by hatch).

Donald, were you by any chance a clubber of innocent kittens and baby seals in a past life?

So what's the new plan? Insurance payout, buyback, and strip it for parts?

If you have his info, sue his ass back to the stone age. He is 100% liable to the state for the no ins. fine, but he is also 100% liable for every cent of damage to your car, your Dad, and yourself.

If you can get money out of him without a lawsuit, do it. If you have to sue him you will win... a judgement. Then you have to get the right to garnish wages, then you have to hire a collector, then they take a cut. It's a big old C.F.

so what are you doin with the bird? parting it out?

Well my cynical outlook tells me that if he could pay for your car then he would have had insurance from the start. I tend to believe that he would have said about anything to avoid a lawsuit. including 'please Mr. Firebirdman don't sue me, I'll pay cash.'
You might seriously consider it, if he was gonna pay anyway then its no loss to him, if he wasn't gonna pay, then at least you acted in a timely fashion. If you wait too long then you could loose out all the way round.

Get it in writing that he will pay. Document every payment. In some ways, taking a check would be best... but who is to trust his checks?

The first time he skips, sue his ass.

Cop issue him a ticket for no insurance?

Are you ok after that incident, and what about your dad driving? Doesn't look like a total disaster, but even minor crashes can have horrible results to its passengers.

The wheel actually came off from hitting the dirt? Shocked

I must have been pretty damn lucky when I hit the curb and only dented the cat...unfortunately my driver side took a beating from a pole...

I hope, and wish, everything goes well for you and you get full compensation!
