You might want to check with your insurance company before you plan on doing that. The way that Progressive handled my totalled car last month was to tow it to their salvage lot where they did the appraisal, then let me know it was totalled, whereupon they gave me a check that purchased it from me, so I never saw the car again after it was towed from the accident site.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
ita, unfortunately it's either the check or the car. They will not let you keep the car if you plan on taking the money.
If you need any help with this, please let me know. I'll look into specs and see if I can't find you what the comparable vehicle is currently.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, man, what a huge relief, smonster! Away from the slumlord and away from the lack of privacy/prickly roommate situation both! And with a good baguette to look forward to, too.
But goddamnit, ita ! I was hoping for better car news -- surely there's got to be some Buffista somewhere due for *good* car news for a change.
And continuing vibes to your DH and to you, Maria. In all the utter shittness of it, Hopkins is about the best possible place you could be. I just still so wish you didn't have to.
Looking out my window, I've got sunlight and steady drizzling rain at once, and if I listen just right I can hear the Blue Angels. It's all rather disconcerting.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have no problem with legalizing dwarf tossing. Doesn't seem super different from stripping. Or pro wrestling. Or porn. What am I missing?

Re some of the earlier conversation... is the FB person also someone I know? Because I'm starting to think it is.

JZ (and everyone else), thanks for the well wishes. I will continue to hoarde them, hoping it eases some of his burden.
And yes, it's someone you know very well.

Perkins, are you around? Is your profile addy good?

ita, you could take the money and buy a used car, rather than fixing yours. Probably easier.

I'll add some more well-wishes in the hopes that the accumulating mass of ~ma breaks some kind of barrier between wishes and reality to do our bidding, Maria. For you and for everyone that is having such craptastical misfortune.

Maybe you could even find a used 2000 BMW whatever it is. The search could easily be offloaded to some underemployed Buffista (such as me, come Monday and the children are in school.)
