Back in your possession -- Good news, indeed.
You know... [day dreaming] ...sometimes you wish for the days of indentured servitude.
Or, public pillory.
... it was determined that the party at fault's insurance policy expired 2 days before the accident.
Or, public pillory.

Anywho...
Glad you have your car back. Now stop procrastinating and post those photos

Here they are finally, unfortunately with a camera phone. It seems my digital camera was a casualty in the accident.
Haven't had a chance to do any sort of detail work - 35 degrees out... Also, I apologize for the london-ambulance look with the clear/orange/clear front lenses, but I'm waiting on a silver-coated amber bulb to arrive before I can throw the remaining clear lenses in.
That front license plate is advertising the accident nicely.

Parts: $5,257.99
Labor: $2,620.26
+ paint + tow + tax = $9,066.31
the shop fixed some other non-accident related paint issues and replaced the vinyl/rubber molding around the right rear passenger window, which had some pretty significant cracking - both of which were included in the above price. So, not counting the tow, the adjuster seems to have given a pretty accurate estimate.

The insurance company paid $1,000 for the rental, as the ceiling for what my policy allowed, and I came out of pocket an additional $100 for a few extra days. Driving a P.T. Cruiser around for a month was pretty demoralizing.

We lock our wings up so that in case of failure they are up.

A bit OT, but if you like your spoiler up all the time, you can take a simple trick from us 964 Cup guys and simply raise the wing and then unplug it. Your warning light will go on each time you drive away from 0 mph, which you can turn off with the "!" button. Perhaps that hassle is less than raising the switch manually?
