Poor Peggy Pony Keg (or, diabetic crackheads stole my car)

So, some of you probably already know this, but Peggy Pony Keg (my trusty 1991 Honda Civic hatchback) was swiped from in front of my coworker's house while we carpooled to work last week. She was found super late that night, but in totally trashed condition. missing: * front bumper (but for some reason I got the front license plate back) * speakers, stereo (even though I have the stereo face) * gym bag (with gym stuff, may its smell rot the lungs of the thieves) * library book: Moral Politics, which I actually hope to get to finish sometime, it was really good. newly added to my car: * diabetic blood-sugar-test-things (yuck) * needles (double yuck, and danger) * candy (smart thinking, diabetic crackheads) * 1 pair women's underwear (yuck) * garbage: papers, fast food trash, and other crap i've never seen before (total yuck) I think that my insurance is going to total it out. The repeated use of the phrase "due to the low total value of your car" does not sound good to me. It's a bummer, because that car was just so damn rad, and I didn't really get to say goodbye or take flattering pictures of her and/or her tattoo (a small bat, from the year that Rosin Coven built the bat art car). I need to figure out what to do; I'm thinking of either buying a used, older Prius with a carpool sticker, or a shiny new one with some additional features. Since people always seem to have lots of advice when you're sick, dealing with a breakup, about to have a baby, or buy something expensive, I thought I'd see what people had to say about it. Any opinions, thoughts?
