Thanks to all of you that responded so quickly!
Need to wait for the police report to find out the details, but what I know is that the driver that rear-ended me was cited/arrested for DUI and I was legally stopped at a red light. Don't know yet if the other driver carried insurance, I guess that's why my insurance has begun to talk to me.
I didn't want to use the "L" word with my insurance yet, but maybe I should since I am getting the feeling that they want to settle this quickly without considering my concerns I have, e.g. why towing it to LA instead of using local appraiser.
Several of you suggested to tow it home. I don't plan on having the car towed home - no good way of storing it and it is for sure beyond repair - rear quarter panels severly contracted, rear windshiled burst, trunk pretty much gone - you get the picture. Planning on leaving at the body shop until the insurance send an appraiser out to them. As far as I understand, the insurance is the liable party for the storage cost at the body shop. Anyone know for sure?
I already miss my Saab, the rental car (Toyota) just doesn't match up...
