It's final. My car is no more. No one on earth had a replacement roof for her, and short of buying another car and tearing the roof off, there was no way to obtain the necessary parts. AllState declared my car a total loss.
Bye bye... I'll miss you.
Some of you may know that I had a catastrophic steering failure in my car while negotiating a twisty road at something like the speed limit (50ish, IIRC). For those of you who didn't, well, now you do. The result of this failure is about $10,000 in damage to my car, which will cost me my $500 deductible and whatever penalty AllState decides to apply to my premium.
Before I sent it off to the shop, I took a couple pictures, which may or may not show up on wreckedexotics.com (yes, my car counts as an "exotic"—only about 1700 of them were built). Here, for your amusement, are the before-and-after shots (that's getting to be a theme here, isn't it?).
