So I'm gonna call the insurance because they may be double-charging me. It looks like they marked me as having renewed my policy but then charged me to upgrade my policy too. Not sure if that's incorrect but it seems like way too much. Does anyone else pay the "renewal premium" on top of a policy change/upgrade?

I could agree with this, except there's always that certain line to be drawn somewhere. I'm sure even you agree that liking Justin Bieber is equal to having some kind of universal bad taste.

I don't agree completely. I have a "whatever floats their boat" philosophy. I personally don't like Justin Bieber and disagree with people saying he's super talented and all that, but I don't think less of someone's taste for being different than mine. Yes, I think that for the most part people who like music like that value music less and don't go for as much in their appreciation, but I'm willing to bet many people who do still listen to that kind of music.

My dad never shuts up. It seems like he thinks that the more he talks the more I'll agree with him. He keeps freaking out at me for not returning all of his calls and texts when I'm out and threatens to kick me out of the house. The only reason I'm sticking around is because he'll pay for my education. I don't want to graduate with debt, but fuck it, I'm getting so close to leaving all of this bullshit behind.

Try taking your dad out for a couple of beers (your treat), and when's mildly inebriated, tell him how you truly feel.

According to a Lebanese friend of mine, Lebanese teens obey their parents' wishes to a crazy degree. Apparently Lebanese people would think a girl is a whore if she had sex with her boyfriend before marriage and everyone would gossip about it and shun the girl. Is it true, Sevag?

$8200 in damages will do that bro. The estimate from the body shop is longer than my dick to say the least.

That was $8200 hundred in damages? What the fuck? There was no engine damage or any damage to the frame. How the hell?
Mind boggled.

Ya, the estimate was legit. My brother used to work at that body shop so we know everyone that works there. So a second opinion or whatever was not needed.
It doesn't take much to total a car anymore. The airbag alone is $1200. And when you throw in shit like the airbag sensors (need both since the drivers didn't work for some reason) which are $350 a piece, and that's not even including the modules for the individual airbags, the dollars and cents stack up quick tangs.
Is there really that much in damage however? No, not even close. There are resale markups on each of the items on the estimate and labor charges for literally everything. But in order for the car to be properly fixed in the eyes of the insurance company, their estimate is the golden ticket.
I already have all the parts to fix the car except the front bumper. The only thing the shop is going to have to do for me is all the frame work since my brother doesn't have a frame rack. Ironically, this is one of the least expensive repairs on the estimate. All together, including parts and labor and frame time, it's about $600. There won't be any body work needed after that because I'm buying mint parts (bought an oem fender for $94, etc.) so all I'll have to do once I "buy the car back from the insurance company" is slap the shit together and paint it and we're good to go.
When it's all said and done, I'll have purchased a car that is $24k grand new + over $13k in mods for $3000. Yeah sure it's going to have a salvage title due to the wreck, but that doesn't matter. I'd be retarded to try and sell the car as whole anyway. I could make twice as much money parting it out than I originally paid for it.
Oh, and for what it's worth, my brother and I did a mock estimate last night and we came up with $7400, but that wasn't including the mark up on the parts that the body shop attaches. So I knew it was going to be expensive.

Yeah, it's crazy how expensive that stuff can be. A few months back I hit a set of concrete poles at a gas station head on (fucking stupid, I know) going about 10 mph. Only visual damage, ended up being $5500 in damage.
