Well guys, they totaled her today.
Looking into possibly another Alero, they're such fun cars. If I had the time, I really would just rebuild her myself, but working 2 part time jobs and going to school full time leaves me with needing to buy a new car due to time constraints. On a side note, they tried offering me only $900! I told them absolutely not and they had to go "reassess." Will find out the full payout in the next couple days. Thankfully I wasn't hurt. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on the salvage yards for new arrivals, who knows, maybe I'll be able to buy her back. Thank you guys for the support, you and my Alero have definitely made an imprint on my life. You only ever have your first car once and there's nothing quite like it. I'll check in every once and a while to see what's up. I'll keep everyone posted if more info arrises.
