Some Jerk wiped out my car yesterday...

On the way to work on a two lane road and this guy crosses the double yellow line, into my lane right at me. I got over to the curb as far as I could and ended up with an impact at maybe a 25 to 30 degree angle. We were both doing about 25mph+. Deployed my air bags, destroyed three of my wheels (stock chromes), practically ripped off my front drivers side wheel, DS fender, door, quarter all smashed.

It was like a bad dream - I kept waiting for him to wake up and pull his car back into his own lane, but he never did. He claims he was tuning in his radio.

I feel more crushed than the car. All of you can understand the attachment you get to your car after months and years of custom additions and diagnosing and treating its "ailments" - its almost like your child.

I don't have collision. Anybody have any advise in dealing with the other driver's adjuster when they offer an amount for totalling it? (which I have to assume they will).

BTW, thanks for all for help that has been given over the years. This board and it's members have been a priceless source of information.
