  • I really liked this color, so I bought another Acura RDX Aspec AWD. This one doesn't have the red interior but other than that, it is pretty much the same as the last one. The damage is a little different so let's get into this job and see just what it will take to get it back on the road.

      If the insurance loss payout minus auction proceeds is less than insurance repair/rental payout, the vehicle gets totaled. Then Scott pays the pizza girl.
