Subject:I got rear ended
From:Blake C. Thornton

Well, I got rear ended this morning.  The back end is totally smashed
in.  I can't open the rear door, so I dont know if the engine got screw
up or not.  It drove, so I didn't have it towed.  I guess I'll have to
get it fixed up by someone here in town (Salt Lake City)

So, I'm also hoping that I can get the insurance company to pay for a
nice rental car.  I've been sleeping in the rear bed of my van for almost
6 months now.  Does anyone think I have a chance of getting a rental
car/van with some sort of bed/camping equiptment?  How should I go about
trying?

Any other advice?

On the bright side, I accidentally smashed up my rear bumper a few years
ago and haven't had the money to fix it up.  So, now I guess it will get
fixed.  And, at least the other guys 4-runner got a broken radiator and
he couldn't drive off.  I guess he ruined his day pretty good too, but he
probably doesn't need to sleep in his car.
