Been lurking this forum since I've owned my ST. Almost three years now. Originally leased it because I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it or get the Focus RS when it came out. Then it turned into wanting a truck.
Well, I got into an accident back in November - and the ST has been getting fixed for over three months now. It's made me miss it more than ever. Having test driven an RS and looking at countless trucks, I've decided I will keep the ST - or buy a new one.
I ended up rear ending a GTI after traffic came to an abrupt stop right after I made a right hand turn. Zero damage to the GTI - not even paint transfer. Original estimate for my repairs were $11,000, but have had numerous calls where more damage was found. Insurance has decided to not total the vehicle - which personally is shocking. I've only been told $13,000 by my insurance. But the body shop - which I've called numerous times trying to figure out what is taking so long - has told me numerous other things were damaged but my insurance has not contacted me about these extras so I am unsure the extra expenses are real. If they are real, they would have definitely totaled the car as it would have been around $17-20,000 worth of damage.
Needless to say, I just miss my car haha.
