I dont think my insurance will cover my car since a minor was driving it ???

Anyway, I guess if one watches others drive a manual (for about 16 years), they too will theoretically learn how to drive it as well. Sort of learn through watching others type of deal.
Well, take it easy, and good luck with the insurance

My first car ever driving was a mustang 5.0 ( 89-90 one of those two ) No Power steering and 5 spd. Ended up fishing tailing down the street hitting parked cars side to side. ( Special thanks goes to my brother for teaching me how to drive stick ) Even though my mom & Dad bitched him out when that happend. lol

^^^Yea but I really dont have the time or space to part the car out.... I have been getting a lot of local inquiries about the car since its parked on the street.. I just hope nobody steals the car because it "looks" abandoned...
The adjuster came by on Monday and declared the car as a total loss. He also said that the insurance company is going to take the car instead of letting us keep it which is fine with me. He said I could take the rims off if I had others to put on there but not even those are worth taking... So anyways I find out on friday how much they're gonna be paying out if anything at all. . . Everytime my mother calls the insurance company to check up on the claim, they start asking questions like "Do you always let your daughter drive your car", or "where do you leave your keys".... All these questions are starting to make me wonder if I ever will get paid out..... I guess we shall see sooner or later.
