Thanks to everyone for the input, but I've got the replacement agreement made. Some other obstacles are delaying the actual physical transfer but that will happen soon enough. To satisfy the curious I'll summarize how my car got wrecked. My car was parked in the garage, front end up on jackstands because I had recently run a strap under the bellhousing so I could pull the motor while leaving the transmission in place. The garage door was closed and outside the garage was parked the family minivan. A family member was pulling into the driveway behind the minivan and had an apparent pedal confusion incident. Instead of stopping, they ran into the back of the minivan, pushed the minivan through the garage door, pushed the minivan into the back of my Catalina, and pushed the Catalina into the workbench at the end of the garage. One side of the Catalina actually stayed on the jackstand. There are 3 feet long scratch marks in the garage floor from the jackstand scraping along. Anyway, damage to the rear bumper and body, and heavy damage to the driver's side front fender and bumper. Hard to be sure, but the core support is probably not right anymore. Also I built that workbench myself when we first moved into the house 24 years ago. 2 of the 3 front legs of the workbench were caved in but the work top didn't fall. I was proud of that. So that's the story.
