Mustang Updates

Last Tuesday I had a half day at work. So John and I had plans to run some errands and go to lunch. However, the accident report finally came out on our car! We obviously switched gears to deal with the car (pun not intended! HA!). We only had a little bit of time before John had to go to work. I got on the phone with her insurance company and they proceeded to tell us they had dropped her back in September. UMM WHAT? I started crying on the phone. That insurance lady felt so bad for me. haha. We spent the rest of the time John had trying to figure out what our next step should be in dealing with the car. We were extremely frustrated and thought it was going to cost us a fortune. Stuff like that is just so unfair.If you make the decision to drink and drive, you should have to deal with the responsibility of fixing your mistakes. After a few hours of being upset, John actually got a call from a different insurance company she has and they started the process of getting an estimate on our car. THANK THE LORD. Just thinking of the fees we were going to incur and the money we were going to be out gave me a headache. 

We also got an estimate on the car finally. The initial estimate was $7000 worth of damage. The place that is going to fix our car (recommended to us by a bunch of different people) cant even look at it until March 1st. Which I guess is good because that means they are really good at what they do, right? They said the first thing they are going to do is take the car apart and look at it thoroughly and then let us know what else, if anything, is wrong with it. Then we'll need to get the insurance company back out there and blah blah blah. At least the process has started. 

They also gave us a rental car and took the information down for John going to the doctor, his medicine, and time missed from work. So we will see what we need to do after the next estimate. Hopefully, it stays as nothing major. I think we've decided we would rather the car not be totaled. It also looks like we may be able to get something for the diminished value of the car if it's not totaled- since we could never resale it for what we could have accident-free. Since the insurance company has contacted us, everything has been pretty smooth. Hopefully, it stays that way! Say a little prayer! :D
