Hope all is well my car was totaled, 3 months ago when a lady made a really bad left turn into a gas station when i was oncoming at 10am...(other persons fault), you can try to fight for your mods/downpayment but i doubt you will get any money from it back at least for your mods ( i lost my my coilovers after 1 day of them being installed and my hids in the front ).
2 months later here i am with a 2014 firestorm M/T, and not auto (my first choice was M/T) even though im still learning M/T its so much fun then again its personal preference

. I lawyered up personally because i didnt want to deal with the bullshit and so i can just keep on with life and school.
Cars are replaceable, not lives. Keep on Truckin.
