As long as my mechanic says it's safe to drive, I will be keeping the car even if they total it out. If it's going to take money to make it drivable, then I've got decisions to make. I've got about $1800 saved up right now for a trip to Scotland in the spring, but if I have to dip into that too much it will mean not going to Scotland, and I really, really, really don't want to do that.

If I have to get a "new" car, I want to stick with a ti, but that all depends on price and availability (already looked at some of the FS ads here). If I couldn't, I'd try to stick with an E36, but cost and condition will play a big part of that. Right now it's playing the waiting game with the insurance company and my mechanic.
