Big thanks to all for the positive vibes - it was a looong weekend but after several nights of solid sleep, a few stiff vodka tonics here and there, I had more or less come to terms with it all, buoyed by the comments here that it might not be so bad.
Well - I got a call from the assessor this afternoon and you guys nailed it. $8000 estimate and 3.5 to 4 weeks in the shop and she'll be back on the road. I went up to the collision shop and walked through the damage with the shop owner, confident they'll do a good job.
In answer to one of the questions re: the slime seeping out the driver's door - that is none other than a (full) vegan vanilla milkshake that got thrown everywhere in the smack - I had been driving my buddy to lunch since he couldn't eat the BBQ lunch our work was doing that day
So my next question - anyone have a good interior detailer in the LA area?! There is sweet, sticky yellow crap that needs got rid of
Attached is a pic of the LCA I was able to get today that I couldn't get on Friday.
Thanks again all! ouch
Be sure and get a loss of value claim from the insurance company. $5k minimum will be the hit to you when you re-sell the car, unless you drive it till the wheels fall off!
FWIW, in California you have a choice of the repair shop. Getting it repaired at a Porsche approved facility is a must. Call around to Rusnak and Auto Gallery for detail recommends. You also have th right to a 'like' rental. The crappy part of the deal is the turd who hit you is most likely carrying state minimums IE $15k. Hopefully their insurance will max out before your insurance kicks in.

Always go through your own insurance company and let them recover the full amount from the other person's insurance company. When it's not your fault, your insurance company's goal is to keep you, their customer happy. The other guy's insurance company's goal is to get out of the repair for the least amount of money possible.

Can we agree you stop changing your avatar pic? I keep getting confused hahahahaha
Agreed on all counts. We pay our insurance company to do a job.
