You aren't supposed to...insurance isn't an investment plan, or a lottery.
Your insurance isn't involved in this, is it? The OTHER driver is getting
his money's worth...and would _really_ (sad, but true) get his moneys worth
if someone was hurt or killed.

I have collision on my car,1984 5000S plain-jane. My $300 deductable cost me
$132 a year.

Hit a deer last June, $1500 damage, $100 out of pocket...and a break in,
total claim about the same. In the same year!

My $300 collision deductable cost me $132 a year.

Only paid $2000 for the car...dumped a ton in repairs in the last three
years, but hey, it's an Audi, and a sadly neglected one at that.

Your car looked pretty darn smacked up....

how much would you think it would be to fix it?
And how much are you getting for it?
What do you think would _really_be fair for a sixteen year old car?

 I thought you said you were ok. Are you injured?
