Totalled the Valiant... :(
Sorry to hear about the car, glad you're ok though!
I agree on the car, cheaper and easier to find another than rebuild that one. Really too bad though. I'd check to see what the insurance company wants for it, it may be worth your while to buy the car back and part it out. Lots of good parts left on there, and you might be able to get most of your "upgrades" off the car to transfer to the next one.
*edit*
Hey, this one isn't too far from you...
