Important thing is that you were not hurt.

There are plenty of C5s out there for sale - just take the money and get another one.

Honestly, totalling the car was probably the best thing that came out of the whole situation.

When my car was totalled, I got $1000 more than I bought it for over a year later.

Good luck and glad no one was hurt.

You're alright and that's what counts.

You can get another one and start a new. Sue the crap out of the guy that you hit you for your losses.
