I feel for you and know where you are coming from since most of us had to scrape and save in our lives for what we want (not need).
Wow, I've never heard of that before. Your insurance company actually mentioned bringing your car back to Oshawa?? In BC where all basic insurance is covered by the province, your car would be written off. I'm curious to know how AB insurance works. In BC, you can write off your car at your own fault and your insurance will go up a certain percentage (like 30%??). It's been awhile for me (knock on wood).
Is AB insurance private? Private insurance premiums would be way too high after an accident like your's, n'est pas? Sort of like buying life insurance when you already have cancer. Especially since I assume you have to deal with the "youth" discrimination?

Our insurrance I believe is fully regulated to prevent the industry from being milked in more ways than just one.
Between my family, the dealership folks and there auto body inspectors, we believe the car would be written off. Several insurance companies as I know a few folks in that business claim the car would be reassembled at the plant. Thou now I hear there is a plant in California that repairs vettes and camaros that have been in collisions so I'm not sure what will happen.
If however the car gets written off, I sure hope I can get my stereo out of there since the amount of hours put into creating that setup literly cannot put a price tag on it.
Also, I finally saw the photo from the Edmonton Sun the other day. That photo was horrifying who ever snapped it.
