Sorry to hear about this but glad that you weren't injured <insert trite
cliche about cars being replaceable, etc. here>...  :^(

If you're going to replace it with another one and have room to store it, go
for it ... around here, insurance companies usually want to 20% of whatever
they pay you for it.  BTW, when I was dealing with Allstate earlier this
year, I made a point to explain what sort of resource the Quattro List was
(as well as my QCUSA membership ... grrrr) and how this gave me access to a
much larger market of people willing to pay top dollar for my car and not
just the "wholesale" prices that often pass for retail around here (Phoenix
is a nice place to buy an Audi -- alas, Quattros aren't exactly thick on the
ground here -- but not a very good place to sell them!).

Send me copies and I'll post them to the Audi Memorial I'm building for my
web site...

Honorary mention?  ;^)
