Update on car accident...

So a lot of you are wondering and asking what happened with the car. It's been sitting in front of our house being an eyesore for us to look at. But we've been dealing with insurance companies this whole time. We just had the minimum for insurance on it. But the accident wasn't Adam's fault. A lady passed him on the freeway in icy conditions then lost control of her truck. She spun out and hit the side and bounced back into the road and hit him. He couldn't avoid it, he tried. But you can tell from looking at the car that he didn't hit her. So we've been arguing it. It took a long time for the other insurance company to admit fault. It wasn't until after we asked if we should get a lawyer that they admitted fault. So this whole time we've had no family car, just the big truck that's a gas guzzler. We are now in the process of accepting or denying their offer, which was extremely low. So we aren't going to accept it. We feel it's worth more. We've found others for sale and it's a lot more than they want to give us. So hopefully soon in the next few days we can agree on something. Once we get our money from them we will be on the hunt for a minivan. Anyone know any good used car dealerships?

I hate insurance companies. They make you spend lots of money to be covered but then dont want to dish out the dough when you need it. Such a hassle. I hope everything works out soon.
