All the drama....

Well I called the body shop that has the car (Resslers) on Monday the 14th. We hadn't heard anything so I was calling to see how much longer it was going to take to get it done so that we could start driving it around. Come to our surprise (now keep in mind they have had the car since March 17th) they haven't started working on it yet.

Mike (the guy working on it at Resslers) told me that he was going to call Dan (our Allstate agent that inspected it) and have him come in for the pre-pull to re-inspect it to determine with the hidden damage if they are going to total it. I said ok and hung up. I waited all day yesterday for the phone call saying what was going on and part of this morning. I couldn't wait any more so I called Resslers. The receptionist said that Mike is off for the day. I was all .....ok. So I called Dan to get the report. He didn't answer his phone so I left a message with my question. "what is the verdict... is it totalled" He called back all puzzled. "This is the first I have heard of this." was his response.

Dan also said that he was there last week inspecting another car and noticed that ours was still in the corner with nothing done on it. He went off on them asking why isn't it being worked on, are the owners aware that it hasn't been started, etc... (He is taking very good care of us). So I hung up with him and talked to Josh. Josh then called Resslers and then Dan.

The verdict is that to fix the car would be about $200 from totalling it. It is now a totalled car. Allstate is going to write us a check to pay off the remaining amount on the car and now we are in search of another car. We do, however, know what other things we will want on it and are in the middle of discussing what types we want to look at.

Just thought you would like to know what we have found out. We still don't know who is at fault.

Good grief. I hope you guys come up with something good. If you ever need a nostalgia fix, we can always drive you around in our car!
