I didn't know I could do such a thing. The other half has been looking at other vehicles for sale, so it looks like the little truck will be hauled off. I may try to strip a couple of easy-to-sell parts of it. (It has an excellent 700r4 transmission and a 4.3 with 123,000 miles, and the wheels may be worth something)
The insurance company of the person responsible for the accident has appraised it, and said it's totaled.. I hope now they don't drag their feet about it, (I call, and everybody is "very sorry they aren't at their desk right now...") and hopefully they don't pull a "It's worth $400 so that's what we're giving you for it".
On another note, we have, as a rental, a 2010 Cobalt. I Will Never Own One Of These Cars. It's terrible. Blind spots galore, A/C doesn't work as well as the A/C in the S-10 did, and it's s-l-o-w. You hit the gas, the car actually slows down for a couple of seconds, and then starts to gradually get going faster. I got too used to my C1500 with the 350 and 5 speed I guess.
