My Car Update :)
Today I went to the Progressive "Concierge Level of Service" Service Center up in Marietta to get my little Honda taken care of. There is a dent in my back bumper, my trunk does not line up with the car body anymore (but I can close it) and we have determined that the buckle on the back rear quarter-panel was indeed caused by this accident. See, I thought it was caused by that as I don't remember it being there so I just wanted to be sure.

For the "Concierge Level of Service" it is a one-stop shop - estimators, body shop and car rental on-site. Since it's all coming out of the impactor's insurance (which is with Progressive) so that's who I'm working with.

As my rental car, they gave me a 2006 VW Jetta because they try to rent you equivalent size. You know, the Jetta is a big car. I think it's bigger than the family's old 1990 Honda Accord. It's pretty tricked-out - the CD player plays MP3s and the radio adjusts it's volume depending on cabin noise it seems (although I think this ones adjuster is a little bit off). Power everything AND it has an auto-stick! I'm going to play with that :) I already miss my clutch-driven Civic though...

Tomorrow they're going to call me with what the estimate is and how long I might expect to be without my car.

Judgment on 30 min of driving the Jetta - I wouldn't buy one. I like other cars better. And it's just gotten too big for my tastes these days. I now lust after the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris Hatchback ;)

Let's see, interesting things I came across... While I was there, a guy brought in his Prelude and I couldn't see anything wrong with it. He went in to the lobby and the helper chicky asked him at some point if it was vandalism. He replied affirmatively, that his ex-girlfriend did it. She asked, "What did you do?" and he said, "Nothing!" I kinda laughed at this, I couldn't help it. I think it made him a little upset but whatever. I found out later that his ex, after he broke up with her cuz she was psycho, took a sledgehammer to his rear window (with all the defrosty stuff in it) and also to some places on the trunk. Damn. A sledgehammer. Turns out I only had seen the front which was fine. Dayyymmmmnnnnn - psycho hose beast for sure. Man, as mad as I was at Justin at various times after it was all over, I would never take a sledgehammer to his car. Maybe that makes me not psycho??
