I wrecked an old trans am. Shopped around at three different body shops, took the highest estimate and submitted it to insurance. They cut the check and I proceeded to buy parts through my cousin who worked at GM and fix it in my dad's garage. I came out ahead a couple grand.

I also once bought a 1st gen Prius for $600, not running but fixed for $800 (replaced several cells in the battery pack and a new ecu). I drove it to work for a year and a half before some dumb cunt tried to cut me off, misjudged and slammed by car into the guardrail. Insurance cut a check for $2600. I got the car back from insurance for salvage value, fixed the front suspension and resold for $1200.
