I assume all the total loss cars will be bought back by owners and if not where would these cars end up.

If the insurance company totals a car - you get a check - and they get your car - it's then sold on a salvage title.

That just sucks,Hopefully most of those cars can be bought and fixed,There are a few that might end up as convertibles later on.

Just remember, if the cost of repair is $15,000 and the car is worth $60,000, all they will do is try to make you believe the cost of repair is actually only $5,000....

None of these cars will be totaled, they are all worth way too much and the cost to repair wont get anywhere near the value of the car. Then again, I bet they try in a few cases and then the lawyers will get involved since a salvage title will take away from the worth of the car.

They (R&S) relied on a company who does this sort of thing to provide a secure tent. I don't know what the winds were in the area, but it is quite possible that the winds were simply too much for any reasonably secured tent of this style. Frankly, one good micro-burst may have been enough to cause the sort of damage seen here, and I am not sure any tent manufacturer or installer can really prepare for such occurrences.

We seem to forget, sometimes when Mother Nature gets pissed off, all we can do is run and hope like hell we survive.
