That is a lot of sheet metal to fix. If that were my car, with my current 10k limit, I’d fear total loss even though it isn't 1/100th of the quality of your car. I think drawing a comparison of the 2 scenarios might be a very eye opening experience for many of us. Just a thought.

Hang in there, she will rise - again!

To answer your question..

What needs to be repaired has zero to do with any fancy parts I have on the car. If this was a stock Camaro the bill would be almost the same since it would need quarters, sheetmetal and paint just like me.

In my case $15k is 15% of the value of the car. In a regular Camaro it could be 50% or more.

Yes, it's a story that needs to be told.
