This may sound really crazy (believe me I realize how crazy it sounds) so just try and bear with me here....

Two months ago I was in a minor car accident (was not my fault) which resulted in my car being totaled because the damages to the car would have cost more than what the car was worth. To make matters worse I didn't have collision on my car and the other parties insurance company is refusing to compensate me because their driver said I was the one at fault. I am in the process of fighting them to get money from this accident since it was clearly their fault (I have a witness) and the police report even states so. I will unfortunately have to bring it to small claims court.

Anyway- I ended up having to buy a used car which I absolutely HATE. It has two doors which I can't stand because I used to put all my things in the back seat of my old car, and now I can hardly even get into the back of this one. It vibrates a lot when I am idling, and I feel so low to the ground. I get so depressed when I have to go anywhere because I hate driving this so much, and unfortunately I drive a lot.

It makes me so upset thinking that because of this other drivers incompetence, they've destroyed my old car and forced me to have to buy another one which I don't even like but it was all I could afford since they didn't even give me any money for this accident! I am so hurt every time I think about it because this accident wasn't my fault. If it was my fault I wouldn't feel so jerked around and hurt by this.

I miss my old car and I HATE this new one, but I needed a car fast because of college and I needed a way to get back and forth so I just took the first cheapest functioning car I found.

I know I probably seem ungrateful and snobby complaining about a car.... I am not a prima donna by any means, it's just the fact that this idiot driver caused this and I had to spend a few thousand dollars that I DO NOT HAVE on a crappy used car that I HATE because they are arguing who was at fault- hence why I had to get a lawyer.

Any advice? I have been so upset by this for weeks and I hate driving ANYWHERE because I hate this car and it just reminds me of this whole nightmare every time I go to sit in it!

Your reaction sounds normal to me, for I would feel the same way. Keep in touch with the lawyer and file a law suit agenst them.
