I really hope to see my car again some day...
Category Everything Else
Remember our eventful Thanksgiving? The one with the eight car chain reaction accident we were part of? The weekend I had to take... <shudder> Greyhound </shudder> home?
Yeah, that one...
An update... Our car is still up in Everett Washington being repaired. They couldn't get it done before we left on the cruise, so we know they'd end up having it the entire month of December. I've been in touch with them this week, and my original plan was to drive up there this weekend and get the car. The problem is that our weather pattern is starting to look nasty for snow around that time. I'm tentatively planning to pick it up this Thursday before the snow hits, but it's still not clear if they will have it fully repaired by then. Today's call brought to light that there might still be some damage to something in the steering, and they want to make sure it's completely fixed before I get it. sigh...
The original estimate was $3000, but I'm guessing it's higher than that now. The good thing is that car #5's insurer (Geico) has accepted responsibility for liability, and they'll pick up the charges. Now I just have to figure out how they want me to submit bills for deductible/car rental/etc...
I hope we get it soon, as this tiny Hyundi we have is like driving a sardine can...
