    Mix of bad reaction and bad tires (they were starting to bald). I was driving 5 under the speed limit cause I was on paid time to go get the food. Why hurry back and have to work? And the complaint about vehicle size was more of me being pissed that she by far got the best of the situation.

    Darling, I once totaled my Escort through no fault of my own. I know how it is :D

    I once totaled a car and it was completely my fault.

    Wow. Did it actually last that long without much work, or were you constantly fixing things on it? And what kind of car was it?

    Call your local pizza place, tell them you might be interested in becoming a driver for them, and ask them if they have any insurance that covers the drivers' cars in an accident.

    That could give you a rough articulation of their understanding of their responsibility under the law in your state without having to mention it to your bosses. Maybe you can get it on the company's insurance and save yourself the deductible.

    another plug for nissan (although i don't drive one now): I had a 1986 200SX that had 192,000 miles on it when I got rid of it. The engine itself was fine, although by that point, it was the only thing that worked (power steering, power windows, sunroof, radio and air conditioning had all failed by that point.)

    When I delivered pizza, we weren't covered for anything outside of our own insurance.

    Sorry, Diabeetus. That blows.

    Did you at least get the nachos from Moe's? Because they effing rock.

    And I think we can all find solace that we don't have to yell, "Welcome to Podunk Register!" every time someone walks into our establishment. Poor Moe's workers.....

    How exactly does a scenario like this work regarding the car in the middle (Car B)? Presumably it was his fault for hitting the car in front of him (Car A), but Diabeetus' fault for rear-ending Car B. So does Car B's insurance fix the front half of his car and Diabeetus' insurance fix the back half?
