Following up on this incident: as bad as the damage to Lori's car was, it was not severe enough for the car to be written off by the insurance company. Repairs to the car were completed this past week and Lori picked it up Wednesday afternoon.
Aside from the fact that they forgot to replace the trunk light and that one of the rear doors doesn't close quite as smoothly as it used to, the car otherwise looks and drives the same as it did before the accident.
This particular ordeal is not entirely over; there's still a lot of insurance-related paperwork that needs to be resolved. But at least, after almost a month, Lori is driving her own car once again.
It's also good to know that we won't have to go shopping for a new car after all.

Actually, I'd say you were unlucky it wasn't totalled - given that you could practically name your price on even decent cars right now.
ReplyDeleteVery true. Although shopping for a new car always seems to be a stress-inducing hassle, even when it's a buyer's market.
