Oh, well...... then when I get mine back...Shane wants to try and trade my car in and buy a used Volvo S40 Sedan...... we will see... I'm really ready for the whole "car thing" to be over with! LOL

Trust me.. it will all be worth it when you settle personal injuries.  I am just settling mine and am happy to have extra spending money for Seattle.
Big hugs until then, though!

Just got a call from Body Shop..... they are HOPING to have my car done by Friday. The tech who was working on it, had a death in the family. They still need to put back in the floor & trunk. So, IF the car is done on Friday then he said he would meet me there Sat (even though they are closed) so I could get my car back and not have to wait until Monday. So, now I'm looking at $285.78 as of today (21 days) plus $38.97 (3 more days) + tax for rental insurance.... That is more then my car payment for one month!! GRUMP

Well, let me start off by telling you about my day from HELL.... (6/15/05)
Note: this is 5 days later then I was told it would be ready.... I believe I was in the rental for 30 days. Anyway....here goes...
I drop off the rental... pay over $350 for insurance on the car....get a ride to the auto body shop. I give them the check from the insurance company...and off to work I go in my pretty shinny car.....
About 2-3 minutes later I hear this rattling noise in the front drivers side near the tie....was not sure what it was. It was only happen when I accelerated and the noise changed when I turned the wheel. So, I pull over to a gas station and call the body shop. They tell me to come back and they will have a tech look at it.
They could hear it, but could not find it.... so after fighting with the insurance to get an approval to have the body shop take it somewhere else to have it looked at and torn down if needed (which I never got by the way, because there was no way to know that it was 100% related to the accident). The guy at the body shop said, "I'll send it to be looked at and whatever the insurance does not cover I will... there will be no out of pocket expense to you."
So, after drying my tears... I finally get picked BACK up by the car rental company, where we have to go pick up my new rental at the lube & oil place.... I finally get to work 4 hours late!! I have to get payroll done etc etc etc...Then I realize that not only did I forget my cell phone in MY car but also my bottle of water, my fiber pills, and my lunch!! GRUMP!! I call Shane and fill him in....he takes it from there....
I leave to get a BUNCH of stuff done for work..... 2 banks, post office, office max, Kinko's (spent an hour there making copies for 4 bids), stopped at MD's to get a chicken sandwich, I asked for a chicken sandwich only lettuce and a apple dipper (sliced apple and you get a small thing of caramel, that I did not eat), but anyway.... I drive back to the office and open my sandwich.....you are not gonna guess what is missing..............THE CHICKEN!! I have a lettuce sandwich.... so, back in my rental car, back to MD's.... and got the right sandwich, my money back, and a coupon for a free chicken sandwich!!
Shane calls me at 3pm to say my car is back at the body shop, the noise is still there, and that he will need to remove my tire and get something out that is rattling around in there....and it has nothing to do with the accident, just bad timing....
Anyway, so I take my rental car back again, get a ride to MY car... walk in there... saying, "I'm back and will try not to cry this time"...the guy I was working with was so cool....I felt bad.
So, I leave there....get stuck in big time traffic....finally get home.... change and get my shake before I head off to the gym....come out and a bird had SH*T right smack in the middle of my hood of my pretty shinny car.... I tell ya....that was my day from hell!! LOL

Aw honey, I'd have been bawling my eyes out ALL day long. Glad your car's okay now tho, even if shitty!
Well think of this...at least the bird didn't [censored] INSIDE the car! My FIL has a convertible and last time he was here I got in the back and found bird poo on the leather seat!
