Sean,
So very sorry to hear about your accident, especially since it's a 80,
(same as ours *S*). However, it sounds like no one was hurt, and that's
the most important thing.
My experience is, if you try and deal with the other party's insurance
company by yourself, you're going to end up on the short end. They are
professionals, quite adept at screwing you if they so desire. I highly
recommend you turn it over to your own insurance company, let them fight
it out and argue with USAA. Then you just have to deal with the people
you have on the 'payroll', your own insurance company.
Good luck dude.
Brad

Everyone,
After asking for advice about my intermittent starts, I need
some more advice.
The spit started fine today, so I took it out for a drive.
While I had it parked, a dreaded SUV backed into the bonnet. It left a
nice crease, twisted the sheet metal support for the bonnet lip and
pushed the bumper down a bit. I haven't checked everything out since
I'm a bit pi##ed off at the moment. The other party has USAA insurance
and my Spit is covered by American Collectors Insurance. Has anyone had
experience with USAA?
I am wondering if anyone has some suggestions on how I need to
deal with this.
As usual, any and all advice and past experiences would be appreciated.
I'm going to have a nice, stiff drink now!!!
Slante,
