A few week later a guy from farmers insurance came out and tried to total the car ( 1991 L98/A4 with 188,000 miles and needing a paint job bad)
The adjuster lady wanted to total it out and give me $3100, Or $2600 and I keep the car with a salvaged title. I told her to fu*k-0ff and I fixed it myself. No way was I going to allow my corvette to be salvaged for a $90 part and an hour or two labor.
Never did figure that one out) I learned more from him in one day, then I did in 2 years of auto body.

It don't take much to total a C4 anymore. And the value is not the issue. My brother-in-law backed in to my 91 before I painted it. It busted the left front turn signal, and knocked the bumper cover out of alignment. I honestly figured about $500 of damage is what the insurance would say since the only thing that was really hurt was the turn signal lens.

That sucks man! I see it every day too. Some ding-a-ling with her head tucked over to one side holding the cell phone to her shoulder, putting on makeup while smoking a cig. JEEEZZZ
I have one of those blue-tooth ear pieces that will answer the phone without even touching it and I can talk with both hands on the wheel. They are dirt cheap....Why don't more people use them? Oh, I know...they make you look like some Star Wars geek! They'd rather crash than to look silly with something stuck in your ear.
It should be a law that if someone causes a wreck while holding a cell-phone, the cops &/or the victim should have the opportunity to place said phone up their butt !

I only learned out of necessity. School nor certificate programs teach much on fiberglass repair. If your interested in learning more about fiberglass work I suggest you do what I did. I called every boat repair and mold manufacturing business within 40 miles, until I found one that would let me work with them a few hours a week. I finally found a real cool guy that repaired large ocean looking boats (In the mountains of NC Never did figure that one out)
I learned more from him in one day, then I did in 2 years of auto body.
