Talked to the guy that towed both of our cars (also my mechanic) today. The first thing he asked me when I walked in the door was "I've heard a couple different stories on what happened, so now I want to hear yours." I asked him to tell me what he'd heard first, and he said the guy's mother came up to the shop on Monday to look through the car. She told him that he lost his eye, was in surgery for 5 hours to fix all the damage to his face, and needed several pints of blood to make it through the night. Apparently he's now awake, and told her that though he had been drinking / was drunk, I was the one who T-boned him.So the mechanic asks me if I T-boned him, and I said "Hell yeah I T-boned him, because he was spinning sideways across my lane!" I sketched what happened on a notepad for him, and he agreed that my version made far more sense than anything she was trying to say. My mechanic thinks that's the story they're considering going with at his trial, which means I'd probably have to testify to what happened. Can't imagine he's going to get far with that, he was drunk and I was sober, and Sonya witnessed the whole thing.
Anywho, I'm going to drive down to the sheriff's office tomorrow because they STILL haven't gotten back to me on the accident report. I went by the garage today and picked up my Kilby plates, nerf/step bars, and LEDs. Didn't have the tools I needed to remove the seat extenders, so I'll get those in the morning. That just leaves the VXC shift plate around the gear shifter (already got the one from the 4L/TOD shifter). Once I get those last few items I'll call a few body shops to see if I can get an estimate before the adjuster comes out. Just wish the sheriff's office would get back to me, I could have filed with my insurance days ago.
