It took 16 days for my car to be repaired. In that time, Jesse & I both talked to our insurance company, who had read the police report and determined we were 100% not at fault. But it takes two insurance companies to get a claim reimbursed. My insurance agent had all kinds of trouble getting info from the other driver. And then the other insurance company did not want to accept fault. I can see why - repairs were nearly $6,000.

I had been indifferent toward the future of my car up until this day. Having it has been problematic on more than one occasion. And if I weren't nearly upside down on it, I would have sold it. But as i drove away from the auto body shop, I realized I'm close to owning Henry. More than that, he's a good car backed by a great warranty. He's gotten us up through the mountains of Arizona, to North Dakota & back, and everywhere else we've wanted to go. He's used, has some dirty interior and some scratches. He's weathered, but reliable. He's my car and I do care what happens to him.
So my repaired car came with a renewed appreciation. I'll continue to take care of him and to pay for him. He's already proven he's worth it.
