Hey! Welcome to the beginning of my Saturn Returns Hell!

So, tough news for those that don't know, Cecilia and I were involved in an accident with a center divider at the beginning of the last stormy weekend to hit the Bay Area. I am definitely in mourning. Those of you who had the privilege to ride with me know Cecilia was a hard working millenial van (older than me). We had a very happy 9 months of road trips, bread delivery, BAF delivery, and a whole ass move across the bay. We had some not so happy street sweeping tickets as well.

While trying to decide exactly what I wanted to do about the accident, between scrapping Cecilia or paying for repairs, she was picked up and impounded. I was told she was totaled but she still started, and I believed she just needed a realignment and some hoses reattached. Now I'm sitting on a mountain of fees, even to have Cecilia be scrapped by the city, in addition to having to pay off parking tickets.

Even juggling 2.5 jobs is not enough to make up these fees on top of the regular cost of living in the Bay. If you've got it, I'd appreciate the help.
