to a one of the best cars I evar owned. My trusty '93 Honda Accord with 169,000+ miles on it, got totaled last week. My daughter was driving it to school and she got rearended - by a girl that had been her best friend in 1st & 2nd grade but whom she hadn't seen in almost 10 years. Some reunion. :eek:
It doesn't take all that much damage to total a 13yo car. That thing took us on countless soccer & softball trips, and it's got a zillion softball dings on it as souvenirs. But now it's sitting out by the curb, forlornly waiting for Allstate to take it away in the morning. But Allstate gave me $2700 for it, which is certainly more than I could have sold it for in its pre-wreck condition, so I think I'll manage to get over it. :)

It lived a long life. It's better off now.

sorry for your loss - tough to beat the reliability of a Honda.

Ask if you can keep one of the dented panels as a keepsake. Makes a great wall hanging in the den or family room. Good memories.

i hear ya, my mom just retired an old car that dated back to 80's family life in the KC clan....and bought a new one....she was kinda sad about it. and one of my college buddies was driving his Dad's old beater Toyota Corola from the 80's. bare bones car, stick, 250,000 miles or some shizz. easy to work on. and it got totalled one day back when we were roommates. his dad, who was kind of an old car sports car guy (was driving like an old 77 Saab 99 at the time) was devastated.
