So sad It was such a nice looking car too. I assume the insurance company wrote it off and is sending you a check, but are you able to keep it as well or not? I seriously need an instrument cluster - mines FUBAR.

Sorry, I was given the oppurtunity to buy the car back, but since I'm a college student there's no way I could keep the body anywhere. So look out in the OC junkyards for my car.

Just be thankful you escaped with no injuries. Use your payout to get a new RX!

It's called a typo. Very different from being unable to read and comprehend what was read.

I'm sorry that you had such a horrible loss, but I am glad you are alright at the same time. If you have the ability to use the cash from insurance to buy another FB, then do so.

sorry man didn't mean to hijack. I just didn't like that he was so interested in the parts when he had already said they were gone. I was just putting myself in thread starters position. It would bug me if that happend because I love my FB.

It's ok. I'm actually upset that I CAN'T part the car out. I'd rather my loss be a little bit of gain for the rest of you guys out there.

I'm gonna use the insurance money to buy an FC, I hope.
