Thanks for all the support. I feel like I am in Limbo. I have been waiting for 7 days to figure something out. I am looking for a great attorney to represent me that doesn't live in my county. The dealership I bought the car from has a very large investment here. I'm sure the owners and the attornies sit and have dinner together all the time. My insurance company told me that they have enough on them to get the car fixed with their insurance company but, they can't get me a new car either. I have to make up my mind soon. If I knew how much damage there was, I might give up and keep the one I have......but, I don't know. The one attorney I called is on vacation.......ughhh!!! any lawyers on here that know or want to take my case? If anyone knows a good one in Maryland, let me know. I hate seeing my car just sitting there.

Wow, sorry to hear this, hope everything works our for you.

Remote starts CAN be safe on MT cars, i've had one for 6-7 years now that I installed myself. I installed an older version of a Compustar alarm, however many companies make MT safe remotes starts. It works very simply too, here's some info taken from Compustars FAQ.

I have a manual transmission. How do I set my vehicle up to remote start?
A: You have to set manual transmission reservation mode. Reservation mode involves leaving your gear in neutral. You must set your e-brake and a few seconds later remove the vehicle's key from the ignition. Your vehicle will remain running until you exit your vehicle and close all doors. The motor will shut down and your remote will receive a page back (2-Way remote) and lock and arm the system

Basically, if you leave the car in gear, it stalls where it's parked when you get out of the car. However, I've never had this issue, as you know the cars running still, so you always put it in neutral.

Just some info in case you do want a remote start. If the car gets fixed, have the dealer remove yours and install a legit remote start. The Compustar (and others) even have smart phone apps that let you never have to use your remote again.

Hey, great info. I'm still at the lawyer stage. Still don't know a darn thing about who this will go against. I'd love to start a poll to see how many people think I will get a new car or not. Just for fun and to take my mind off of it. I just don't know how to use this thread well enough to do it. LOL Thanks again for the info.
