Police officer: So what happened here sir?
Mike: Well...I stopped...she hit me.
officer: why did you stop?
Mike: not sure. about 20 cars infront of me were also stopped.
Officer: Maamm...what happened here?
dumby: Well...I was just driving along and then all the cars infront of me just stopped. I am not sure what happened.
Officer: is there something that caused you to not see that he was stopped?
dumbass: weeeelllll.......i was kind of reading a piece of paper while I was driving to the doctor and I guess I was not paying attention.
officer: Maam...how fast were you going?
stupid Imbecil: I'm not sure.
Officer: well……you kind of caused some major damage here. You caved in your front end and put 2 holes in the back of his car. I think your bumber beams went through your bumper and his.
complete idiot: Yeah...I guess I was going fast. I probably did not hit the brakes.

The wole rear bumper assembly must be replaced. I think the neon still works but it has a scratch now. i will have to double check it when I get home. How does totaling a car work? Do I get a check and get to keep the car? The car is completely drivable. It even felt a little faster now that the bumper is vented resulting in less wind resistance.
Will post pictures later today.

You don't get to keep the car if they total it; you get the book value less your deductable. Some companies will let you buy it back for salvage value but I think in some states you can't register a totaled car – not sure.

Registered
Almost all states will let you reg. a car that has been totaled under what is called a salvage title it lowers the value of the car and if you have another accident they want give you jack for it on an insurance claim,how ever they do let you buy it from them by giving the totaled cost minus any where from 100$ to around 500$.

I have done it here... you can just ask the insurance for the buy out amount. My Cougar that got totaled due to paint scratches had a buy out amount of $108. lol. I sold that car for $1500.
the other person uses Progressive insurance. They will come evaluate the damage today. She (and my agent) said that the "totaling" laws are different in each state. In illinois, if the car is less than 9 years old any car "totaled" by an insurance company must be turned over to the insurance company to combat fraud. If the car is over 9yrs old the victim has the choice to either accept the settlement check and turn over the car or keep the car and get the settlement check minus the salvage cost. The salvage cost is quoted by a salvage company. My car's market value is approximatly $5200 +- a few hundred depending on the options.
