Just curious, how does an accident work when its occurs Canada and you're from the US? Will you have to go back to BC or do they just mail a cheque? Sounds like a headache!

Thanks you guys for the feedback! RE: Getting in an accident in Canada it's interesting. Apparently to drive in Canada (my understanding at this time) Canadian residents pay a fee to the government and they (aka an org called ICBC) act as your insurance (so it's not like there's State Farm, Allstate, Farmers etc.)
It's interesting that all Canadians have the same gov't backed insurance but I guess it works for them I guess. The guy that t-boned us ran a red light and was hauling A$$ for being in the middle of a crowded city with traffic and people everywhere. We were so shaken up we didn't get the witnesses names and that combined with the fact that it's an American/Canadian crash (in Canada) I'm concerned about who will be getting the blame for this one. Time will tell.
The most bazaar part of the whole deal was that our insurance just said - "the car is probably totaled. Just take everything you want out of it that you want to keep because you're not going to probably see that car again, leave the key (seriously) in it and at least one door unlocked and catch a ride to the border and we'll have a salvage yard come pick the car up."
They told us to not worry about waiting for the car and they'd have their partner in Canada come pick it up. It also sounds like it's not coming back to the states (awful since I just spent $2000 in parts and some labor for it - and the front brakes have brand new calipers, pads, and R1 Performance slotted rotors with 400 miles on them). As of Weds morning - it was still sitting on parked on the street in front of an office building.
Everyone's been super nice though that we've dealt with through their insurance.
