And if his insurance won't pay to fix the rocco (IE they want to scrap the
car), don't let them have the title or anything, take what they give you,
and take that fucker to civil court.  Since the damage was caused during a
crime (drunk driving) you should be able to nail him coming and going.

Oh, and Jason, I am sorry dude...that seriously f-ing sucks.
