This is just a drive-by post/update on Lovely Daughter’s lil pre-4th encounter with a guy who (in his words on the accident report) “saw the red light, but I thought I could make it” (?!?!?) for those who have commented (more in email than on the post—thanks to you all) on the “accident”. “Drive-by” update cos I’m still “snowed” (“sawdusted”?) under…
The semi-final estimate (not all parts pricing is in yet) places repairing the thing at about $1,000 less just a smidge under what her car actually cost to begin with, which was… less than 1.5 months off the new car lot.
Total, ya think?
But Yolanda Yaris did its job of protecting its “cargo”.
A coupla bye-bye pics of Yolanda Yaris:
Then…
(And no, that’s not what Lovely Daughter’s face looks like. Blurred out mostly cos of her work.)
And now…
Ins company’s playing “push the kid around” but they don’t know my Lovely Daughter very well. That’s kinda like messing with a force of nature… (But her Toyota dealership’s REALLY working with her, since they already know where she’s buying the replacement. *heh*)
Gots ta go. “The faster I runs the behinder I gets.”
Awwww, poor car!! I hope it isn’t too much hassle, what a pain to have to deal with it all, still glad she’s ok tho. Thanks for the update ;).
Something’s wrong with this picture.
David, don’t know if I’d told you. I grew up “in” a body shop & later Dad added frame repair. Also, spent some time as an insurance auto damage appraiser — post AF.
Perhaps a bad photo — too much shadow in the damaged area — I just don’t see “total” damage in the wreck photo of a 2 month old car. Suppose I’d need to see better photos.
Glad to know Lovely Daughter is OK!
