Are you Fing kidding me?!?!?
After all you went through....
Somebody mentioned 'diminished value'. Do some research. http://www.diminishedvalue.com/
Simply put, if you were told what was repaired on your car prior to purchase, how much less would you have offered? DV assumes PERFECT repair- it is the intangible reduction in value that high end cars suffer after any repair.
His insurance (and the bastards at YOUR insurance) will say 'it isn't covered'. It is. (Your insurance company has decided that they will fight ANY DV claim, even if it is against another company in support of one of their insured, simply so they set no precedent- they are terrified of DV claims.)
Forget about insurance for a moment. He hit you. He is liable for ALL of your losses. Losses include 'diminished value' Your insurance coverage isn't an issue. If HIS insurance doesn't cover the money he owes you for DV, well, that is his problem.
I'd go for the throat....
Good luck

Sorry for your misfortune...
That is a real shame! 
I wish you well in this. I'd definitely consider the diminished value option.
I've noticed, now that I've had my TT for roughly a month now, that while it isn't necessarily a moron magnet, I've had a fair number of morons hanging on my *** thinking they're immune to the laws of physics. I generally just try to take it slow and easy, though if I have an opening I'll sometimes accelerate away and leave them holding their privates.
Good luck.

For now I am Ballin in a POS Chrysler 300D

Tim,
Un-f'in believable. You just got your car after a month of messing around and now this. I think you might want to check into a padded room so nothing else can happen.
That really sux
Sorry it happened. Glad you are OK.
