Damn !!

When i had my lil clash back in 2010 both the other driver and i had allstate insurance.

Everything went ok,i didn't even had to pay deductible.

It is easier for the company to settle because they don't have to hassle with another company to get everything straight.

Thanks all. I have an appointment with the shop at 0800 tomorrow morning. I'll keep you posted as things start happening.

VX is in the shop for repairs.

Lucky me gets to drive a Yaris rental car until VX is back on the road.

look on the bright side: tiny rental car + emergency brake = fun times (plus you should get about 473 miles to the gallon)

Your poor VX has been through hell and back. I'm sure you'll massage that corner back into shape and Boy will be cruising in style again. (Rename her Christine, and she can take care of herself!)

Not the whole VX ... only the front left corner!!!

Dang thing is so uncomfortable, I'm only driving to & from work. I am looking forward to the Uber high mpg though.

Had to swing by the rental car office this morning ... 1 tire was almost flat.

& the saga continues. Traded the Yaris in on ... another Yaris. Sitting at a stoplight last week with the defrost at full blast = 12" crack magically appears.

Shop just called ... they are having trouble sourcing parts

I gave them Merlin's number & the parts list.

The insurance company (USAA) has totalled the VX. They are offering $8200 for the VX, $6534 settlement if I want to keep it.

I'm about to send them the attached spreadsheet to see if I can get a better settlement.
