Damn. Thankfully you're still alive, it sounds like you got drilled. Get well soon.

And before anybody asks, DO NOT tell us what happened until everything with insurance/courts is completed. What you might put here while on hospital drugs, might not be 100% correct. DO NOT tell anybody what happened until everything is cleared up. Oh, and get a lawyer yesterday.
Jeebus, is this how crazy insurance claims are in the States? I guess if you want to sue or whatever you need to play your cards close to your chest

There are french banjos playing out in Huberdeau.....that's like 2 hours out on the far side of nowhere! are there more than two last names in the Huberdeau phone book? Like...Laviolette and Vaillancourt?.....maybe a Vachon for good measure?

It's truly amazing, that sometimes you have these moments of amazing philosophical insight. Then the rest of the time you are a babbling, drug ruined idiot.

Lots of LeVesques. Tons of Ryans, Millers and Briggs from when Montreal was ethnically cleansed of English speakers in the 70's....

Over there somewhere.
I'm home. The damage to the 930: front wheel is trashed, rear wheel is trashed, fork is trashed from side to side. Frame is in good shape.

Take everything to a shop and have them price out a new bike. All things considered, if both wheels and the fork are toast, the strength of the frame is likely greatly compromised.

There is no reason to be 'nice' here. You got hit by a car. It's their fault. Get yourself fixed, get your bike fixed - to the level it was before, and make sure you're compensated for any future damage to self.

agree with this 100%. have them inspect the frame. if both wheels + fork were trashed, i'd be greatly surprised if the frame was actually fine.

I am a mechanic, and am not finding the tell tale marks showing frame damage but will probably not take any chances.
