I agree with Greenpa that car accidents, regardless of damage, fault, etc. are very inconvenient. Even if you're able to transition to no car or another car, dealing with all the details and the post-accident stress are hard. Good luck with all that and I hope you can find a high mileage replacement.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-34495106376497939372008-11-07T09:11:00.000-08:002008-11-07T09:11:00.000-08:00Sorry to hear about the accident.
