Is there Junk in the Trunk, or is the Trunk Junk?

Well, for those of you who do not know, last Wednesday September 10, I was minding my own business, driving home from open house at work, wanting to be home with Milo, watching T.V. when BAM, JMIII ran into me. UGH!! I was rear-ended coming off of the highway near my house. I was very calm and collected, (surprise surprise) called the police, and pulled over to the side away from the rest of the traffic. JMIII got out of his car, stumbled and insisted I not call the proper authorities. I was persistent about having the police deal with the situation. When they finally came, low and behold, JMIII was arrested on the scene for a D.U.I.

The story does not end there... I took my car into the auto body shop for them to look at it on Friday, and they informed me that I can't drive me car. So I get a rental. Monday I get a call from the rental office stating that my rental is not authorized and I must return it. Hello, did I mention that I can't drive me car??? They said because fault has not been determined. (For those of you who do not know, Massachusetts is a no fault state. So without the determination from a police report, no one is at fault.) I know what you are saying right now, just what I was saying... "JMIII rear-ended me and was arrested for a D.U.I, that is obvious fault!!" UGH!!

So fault is determined, on his behalf. Good, problem solved. NO!! The insurance company has now said that my car is a TOTAL LOSS!!! UGH again!! This time, I didn't keep my composure. I lost it. Not only was I rear-ended, but now perhaps may have no car. I am researching everything I can about salvaging my car and fixing it, or taking the total check and figuring something else out. Tony from the auto body shop is kindly going to make a full inspection of my car on Monday to help me determine if it is better to fix my car or to total it.

So my question is now, I know that I have junk in the trunk, but is the trunk junk?
