That sucks Shrift. I hope your car is one whose insurance value is something like it's real value.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
oh ho ho ho yes, they're paying for it.
Good. They should cover a rental until it's ready, too.
I guess after seeing the Jiffy Lube guy talking on the cell while whipping my car around a blind corner, I shouldn't be too surprised when mechanics crash cars. But I'm still sitting here all WFT?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Keeping the Faith -- that was a fantastic movie, even if it did co-star Jenna Elfman.

Oh, they'll be paying for that, too. If they try to weasel out of anything, they'll find that they won't like me when I'm angry.
And I think WTF? is a perfectly reasonable reaction to mechanics crashing cars.
I go to see if deli can break $100. If not, I walk to drive-up ATM.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Fraser's character in School Ties is definitely portrayed positively. But, no, I can't really think of anything else besides Garden State and Leap of Faith.
shrift, the fuck? Grrr!
Katherine Harris is a blight.

They should also pay you for diminished value, Shrift, and possibly buy you a pony.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They should also pay you for diminished value, Shrift
Yeah. It depends on how bad the damage is. If the frame is bent, there will be a big loss of value even after the car is fixed. If it's just a body panel and related stuff that need to be replaced, then... well I don't know - maybe a small loss of value or no loss at all.
I sold my Focus to... what's that big-ass chain of car dealerships? (eta: Carmax.) They inspected it first but never noticed that a fender had been replaced (eta: or they didn't care). They refuse to buy cars that have had the frame bent.

I just read thru - and still WTF? is my reaction.

Any film titles with American Jewish Leads come to mind?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
If you're talking about Jewish characters (not actors), yet another neurotic was the lead in Everything Is Illuminated, played by Elijah Wood.
The only non-neurotics I can think of are all TV characters, and they're quirky in their own way (Toby Ziegler and Josh Lyman on West Wing, particularly).
