Smashed 99 Hawk
It's half assing.
When you talk to your insurance agent, make sure you inform them about what a firehawk is and stuff.
I've heard about agents that cut some slack on a car they were gonna write off once they get told about something special about the car. Cause all they will initially see is it's just a regular firebird trans am.

Also, on the flip side of the coin...
At the time, out of my own curiosity, I asked that if they were to write it off what are my options and what would be the process. Seems to be quite different that what I read in the States...
A) They would write the car off
B) Insurance company owns the car and I CANNOT recover it or buy it back under a salvage title or whatever, like a lot of you guys can. I don't know why but the adjuster said its the policy of the insurance company to do it like that. I didn't ask any futher, but I believe the cars are taken to the scapper and crushed.
C) The insurance company would find another Firehawk, with similar mileage and condition in my area and work around the average selling price. No black book value B.S. BTW I paid 20K CAD for my hawk with 17,400 miles on it. A lot of folks from the states say I got ripped off, but TBH low mileage 4th gens go from anywhere from 15-25 k here in Canada. So I would have been able to get similar dollar value and just go and purchase another one.
