I got my car back!!! *tear*

OKAY! After 3 1/2 weeks of being "car-less" and taking the MTA and Santa Monica bus lines, I finally got my car back! I am SOOO happy! Here is what was repaired as for the mechanical work...1)Power Steering Rack 2)Right axle boot (was leaking greese) 3)Left axle boot (about to leak unless repaired) 4)Front brakes redone 5)Fender liner (needed a new one because my tire melted away the old one) 6)120k service. Total...2,324.13. I got to tell you though, that 120k service MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE in how my car runs. I get better gas milage, better acceleration, smoother running...everything works like brand new!
As for the body work...well, they replaced both doors on the right side of my car, and the front and rear fenders. I lucked out when it came to the mechanical parts within the doors (power windows, locks, etc) because they were not damaged. They also fixed a HUGE dent that I got on my trunk lid (right where the Honda logo was) when I backed up into a volleyball pole (lol, I know:D ) They fixed the dent and filled in the holes from the Honda logo and repainted the entire trunk lid...as well as the whole right side of my car. Total...3,212.87. Everything totalling...5,537. :crazy: :eek:

Ya it totally sucks!!! I had to take the bus from 6th grade all the way through 11th grade, so I know what its like. But when you get a car, you never want to go back. I had to bum rides from friends in addition to taking the bus. What sucks about getting rides from friends is sometimes the music they listen to isnt the kind you like and you have to deal with it!:pukey One listens to country!!

5537??? Was that covered by insurance or anything???

[HondaTypeJ]

I lucked out with the uninsured/underinsured motorists and they are going to pay about 2,300 of it. At first they said it wouldnt apply to me, but my father raised hell about it and they changed their mind. They said (at first) it wouldnt cover me because the guy drove off after hitting me and they had no idea whether he had insurance or not...

That's still a shitload of $. Who is your insurer? If someone totaled my car by setting fire to it or something while I wasn't there it would be fully covered...

Glad you got it back, but that's a LOT of money to spend on it.

My car wasnt fully covered thats why insurance isnt paying all that much of it. I know it is a lot of money but my father (love him to death), payed for all the repairs because he knew I am saving up for Paramedic school. NOW, my car is FULLY insured.
