How come i can get these things done in an hour and you can't?

You shoulda parked the suv in the driveway, cleared off the kitchen table, took the day off from work, Picked up the phone, and made absolutely sure you had insurance on it before you drove it again.

what is that so hard for you to do?

Oh YOU will have to pay for all the damages out of your pocket, unless it states in the contract the dealer must provide insurance for you.

Time to get a second or third job.....good luck

How long did you have the suv before getting in an accident? If it was more than one day after purchasing the suv, you should not have been driving it.

You knew it was not insured but you gambled and lost.

Any insurance you get now will not cover any damage to the suv from the accident or protect you from any claim/s from the other vehicle occupants.

You'll have to contact your provider. Some do give a grace period if you are *replacing* a vehicle on your insurance policy.

Uh i hope you are not dumb enough to go to work tomorrow.

I would be on the phone with everyone, your insurance agent, the bank, the dealer, everyone....motor vehicles...everyone

all day, untill it gets done, and you get some answers, and some options.
