Well...some of you my have seen my post back in April about being hit by a drunk driver in my '10 SRT8.
I wanted the car to be totaled, but the insurance company said the car was worth to much so they would not total it.
I made it VERY clear I would not except the car back unless it was in the condition it was prior to the wreck...which was pretty much perfect. I hear you out there...it's a 5-6 year old car and is not perfect. Well there was not one paint chip, door ding, scratch, etc. The inside has never been smoked in, eaten in, been down a dirt road, etc. So yeah, it was as close to being in show room cond. as can be. Oh, and it only has 36K miles on it.
So...after $22,000.00 in repair bills and TWO different shops...I picked it up today after a top to bottom inspection. And even though it is still in my mind that it has been wrecked...it looks as it did prior to the wreck as far as I can tell right now. I will be going over it further as the days go by to make sure.
Here is where we started and what we have now:
