Hey folks,

So my brother wrote off his commuter car this evening. Slid into a curb that was hidden under snow and blew out the front tires and suspension. We're guessing it's a write off as the car was probably only worth $3K (90's Mazda Protege).

He doesn't have AMA and only has liability insurance on this car. Assuming that it's not worth repairing, what would be his best option to deal with the wreck?

1. Have it towed to wrecker? Auto parts yard? Somewhere else? Any suggestions?
2. Should he have it towed home and then have the kidney foundation pick it up? This will cost money for towing, but at least he can get a tax receipt for $50.

Thanks ahead of time for your suggestions.
