Patience bro. All will be accomplished in the fullness of time. The dude will get what is coming to him. If you feel like you need to vent, go to the gym. Hit the weights. Run some laps. Bang your girl as hard as possible
Remember, what goes around comes around!!!

I spoke with the principal today after school. He has been in contact with the police and has finally gotten a hold of the guy that nailed my car. He told the principal that he does have insurance. However, they informed me that what he did to my car is neither a misdemeneor nor a felony. No one was in my car at the time it happened, so they are just going to write him a citation That made me a little more pissed off to know this kid is going to get off the hook after destroying my property and not looking back. The police will be coming to school tomorrow to get everything in order I guess... It is relieving that this will be resolved tomorrow, but aggravating at the same time knowing that nothing is going to happen to this kid (from the law at least )
I am having a special car collector's "repair man" fly out from Seattle the beginning of the month to fix my car. This is the guy that repairs very valuable cars that a local car collector uses when he purchases cars from the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction. So I know everything is going to be right. I am unsure as to where I will find SS parts since the car is no longer made, however
Also, can anyone tell if my car will be totalled or not? I am going to go take a few pictures right now if I can figure out my camera.

I believe insurance totals cars after 70-80% not 50%, also according to nada your car is worth around $14,500 (which I still can't believe it would be that low). Just a guess I would say there is about 6-7k max in damages to your car however the big thing is is the frame in the back bent?

That is higher than I found, but then again, I never checked NADA. But I do agree...people are buying way higher mileage Z-28's for even more than I bought my SS with only ~12K on it!
That is about the amount I figured it would cost to fix it, but I was thinking it was totalled due to the 50% rule. The frame doesn't appear to be bent, but this is only from me crawling under there with the car a couple inches off my face. I am going to let the professionals take care of all of that stuff. To be honest, I am surprised how "little" damage there is to my car after this guy nailed it causing my car to slide two parking spaces over and end about 60* from its original resting spot. Then again, this is to the untrained eye and not having a look under the skin

If the frame is ok, it should be fixable.

Glad to see you're getting things resolved, bub. I doubt the frame is messed up, 'cuz these cars are built quite beefily, to be honest. With all the fiberglass and plastic on here, the only explanation I can think of for your car weighing 3400ish lbs is a STOUT frame/unibody setup.
Get her fixed, and watch for gringos.
