Just got a preliminary estimate to repair the car. $8,900.

Oh man, is the car worth that much? When someone rear-ended me we had to ask the body place to try and keep the reported repair total under 3k otherwise the insurance company for the other driver would just declare my car "totaled" and give me a check instead of fix it. I love my car so much I bought the same model twice and had to go to another state to get the second one! I knew the pickings would be slim again if I had to replace a car over a dented back door. :/ I hate, haaate how the system works. It shouldn't be up to the insurance company of another driver to determine whether or not they will fix my car in full or if it's worth it. It's worth it to ME and wasn't my fault, so they should pay! :/

I hope you're feeling okay! I actually felt worse the first day of my last wreck, and better the second, so I hope it's the same for you!

The car is only five months old. *sniff*

I heard a bit more - the damage is mostly cosmetic. No apparent frame or damage. How that could cost $8900 I don't know, but I hope they don't total it. I love that car, so I know exactly what you mean.

Five months? Oh man, that sucks! That always seems the way of it, though. Get something awesome, someone is a dick and messes it up right away. :/
