So Don made it home in one piece. Not our little car though. At our house we give names to our cars. The small ones get the nickname "titine" (yep, maybe you'll learn some French and other weird slang in this blog) and they become part of the family (we don't change them unless they have lived their life or usefulness). So anyway, it's in poor shape and leaking oil all over the place (if you've seen the very old movie Short Circuit #2, that's bad news!). Don took it to the shop today and ran the 6 miles home. The repair shop guy says with luck it'll be ready in a week. Yeah! We won't have to consider the alternative of a write-off and trying to pay for another vehicle later. That's a load off. Still the deductible is pretty high. Oh well, we needed to fix a couple of CV joints on it. They are now really gone and the steering is really wobbly, so there's no way around it anymore. Got to bite the bullet. As far injuries on the other party, seems that she didn't pursue the matter. I hope I won't be proven wrong though and that she would try to haunt us. Anyway, Don's OK we should keep our car. Pfew!
I didn't have a chance to take a picture, but the insurance sets up a site where everyday you can follow the progress on your car repair. That should be fun to watch.
