Just wanted to share what happened to me this past summer.
As I had mentioned elsewhere - a very young girl was driving her parents mini van with her little girlfriends, talking on the phone and not paying attention to what was going on around her.
Unfortunately I happened to be coming through an intersection - on a green - while she was coming from the opposite direction and tried to make a left turn in front of me.
She wasn't even close. I had to swerve hard right to avoid a full head on. After impact I jumped a curb and hit a tree. Look at how the front license plate wrapped around the tree. The tree died but everyone else was OK.

Everything was reported and handled all legit. Mommies insurance paid for all the damages. The car was about 1k in damages shy from being a total loss according to the insurance people. The low miles (48k) and overall condition of the car also helped to prevent it from being considered a total loss.
Besides a few minor issues I was happy with the repairs. But less than 1k miles later I got a rod knock. After some debate with the insurance company they decided to cover the cost of a new motor and attributed the engine faiure to the accident. 
I have now decided to use those proceeds for a 3l swap. Which reminds me, todras I need a cd. I sent you a PM but I'm not sure you recieved it.
