You guys keep overlooking the fact that I've already been down this road with state farm once already with this car. I don't see them cutting another $5000+ check to repair this car again.

On a related note, I don't think the adjuster for State farm has any clue what kind of insurance claim nightmare he's walking into. Comments of his this morning on the phone lead me to believe this.

"Oh, it's a convertible? I didn't know they made convertibles that year."
"It says here it is a v8 engine? I thought RS meant 6cylinder."
"What's this place I'm going to look at the car at? Wade's Rod and Custom? Is that like a body shop?"
"Don't worry, if the car is a total, we will make sure you get taken care of."
