Well, she is still in the shop.. so far we are at $7100 in damages. Dude trashed my suspension.
The suspension cross arm in the back was broken and they had to wait on it from Nissan as that is not a part that is just in normal stock anywhere, hence the delay. They had to replace the tie rod just to be able to move it into the garage as it was completely broken and we know she ain't gonna roll like that. After discussing the wreck with a police friend of mine, we have figured he was probably going about 50mph + when he hit me and the biggest impact was to the driver's side back tire, so yeah..
I did go visit her before my surgery just to check on progress and get some stuff I needed and the body shop she's at is a real class act so I am confident they're going to do her right. I have made it clear what this car means to me! It was pouring rain and there were a lot of wrecks that night, so she ended up at this shop by coincidence as they were the first tow truck they could get out there. The shop is a good 40 min from my house and I have never even heard of them but they have a great set up.
They think they may have it fixed by Tuesday (which is 6 days shy of a month from the wreck!) if it cooperates at alignment, so here's hoping! If they can get it Tuesday as promised, it will be one of the first times I'll be allowed to drive since surgery so maybe we'll have our victory lap together!
