Baymax boo boo...
GWiz T-boned a police car today...COP WAS AT FAULT. Other cops showed up and confirmed that cop was at fault. There was an illegally parked vehicle blocking the stop sign that the cop ran, but GWiz had no stop and right of way.
She is physically fine, but understandably upset about her baby. Again, this is the $2,200 car that we've put $15k into. From the pictures I've seen, all is repairable, and I still have Vader, so I have all of the parts to fix what's broken. Wife contacting the PD for insurance info now. Expecting a "valuation" battle with them, and will never allow them to total the car. Will fight to get a reasonable check, and we'll do the work and he'll be good as new. (not posting any pics on this one, sorry...since I don't need things like that on .net as we traverse the insurance minefield. Another reason I didn't list which police force.  )Again...this is why she has a college car. With Baymax, it's actually kinda fun, cuz we have 100% of the knowledge and parts to fix him. I'll have the body parts pulled from Vader and painted before the car even gets home. I think we can reassemble him in a weekend! If it were her BRZ that I bought brand new, I'd be pissed off. |

Glad to hear that she's okay. That's what really matters.
 Good luck battling the PD for compensation. It may be a good idea for her to get checked out by a doctor. Sometimes injuries don't show up right away. |

She bought her car a balloon.
 She's at the race shop now, but will be tying this balloon to his mirror when she gets home.

On a bright note, I'll be in Atlanta Tuesday and Wednesday on business. I will catch up with G for dinner on Tuesday and get a first hand assessment of what we're dealing with.
We will certainly leave open the option to speak with a doctor. She's going to give it a day or so to see how she feels. Lots of exams coming up, she's trying to minimize the distractions. |

On another bright note...
Wife admitted that me not selling Vader's shell for roughly $400 awhile back will pay huge dividends in this episode. You gotta have a parts car with a 22 year old vehicle. I'm going to strip him and salvage all usable parts, which I'll keep, and then scrap the shell. The $400 I was looking for for the body is peanuts to how much this car just saved us. I'll get $200 in scrap metal alone. Same as G did with Skittles.

Glad she is ok, good luck getting it sorted out. I would take a trip to the doctor as suggested above. It seems to me that the police would know their town and which streets have a stop sign, a blocked sign is a poor excuse, they cover all of the streets on their patrols.

For your own protection, she needs to get checked out medically. When the cops, or their insurance company, or city lawyers, try to bone you, you need documented evidence for any medical issues. Trying to tough it out, play it off, or ignore things will only come back to bite you.
