Exactly.  I can't get what it's worth to me out of it, I can't get my
money back, but if some idiot totals it, I want to at least be able to
buy a nice coupe (like mine will be) out right and have a few $ left
over.  That would mean $3-4k.  Not too outrageous.  Unfortunately it's
not old enough to be a "classic" so it will be difficult.  Gotta hope I
get the right appraiser...
