    Not how I wanted my weekend to start

    Man not how I wanted my weekend to start! The Jetta thats in front of me hit the Kia in the intersection, bounced off a curb, spun 180 degrees came over the median and hit us. Watched it all happen and as soon as I saw it spin I just grabbed my wife’s hand and said we’re going to be okay. Thankful everyone involved came away with zero injuries! But I’ve never been in an accident let alone one that is probably totaled. Car was MINT for having 140k miles, I bought it with just over 45k. How does this work now? I have gap, owe $14k with a USAA coverage for replacement car.

    That sucks. Glad you're ok. I can't speak to the gap. My last car was totaled and one thing I can share that surprised me was that my insurance company only paid for 7 days of rental car after they told me the car was totaled. So if you think it's totaled, don't waste too much time shopping for a new car.

    I would guess well equipped S-Line A7 based on the door sills and little flash of the Supercharged badge on the fender.

    2Wookies - sorry for your loss. Sweet car, great color combo. Glad it did it’s job keeping you and the lil lady safe!

    Unfortunately I’m no help with the gap insurance. My avant was totaled in a deer strike (expensive front cosmetic damage) and a second time by a 19yo not paying attention in traffic (rear end damage). I’m a technician by trade, do a ton of commuting, and absolutely love the car; so each time I bought it back and fixed it. My car’s old enough (I don’t want to say cheap enough ) that the process wasn’t too complicated.

    Hopefully your insurance takes good care of you, and I hope you both continue to do well in the days coming up!

    2wookies...is a Stinger GT AWD an option for a replacement or G70?
