OMG

So, where do I even start?!

So we went to Michigan for the holidays in the MB.  Sounds like a great plan right?  I thought so too, but alas I am still dealing with damages to my car secondary to a hole to China which I struck in the sunny state of Illinois.  Mind you, this was on Interstate (INTERSTATE) 57.  It was the entire width of the car and I had no way to avoid it....unless I wanted to strike an 18 wheeler.  So, the car "bottomed" out and it was just nasty.  Very LONG story short, I ended up filing a claim with my fabulous insurance company.  OMG.....my car is still in the shop and damages are now upwards and around $3000.  There is also the possibility of even more damage if they cannot get the car to align....we will not know the status until probably Monday.  It is not a good thing.  

What has been most annoying about this whole misadventure has been dealing with my insurance company, almost on a daily basis.  My local office is wonderful, however the problem is dealing with everyone above them.  It is seriously like pulling teeth.  It is so ironic that I have NEVER filed a claim EVER and this company has my home and two of my vehicles on policy.  My bill to them is always paid on time, yet they want to argue with me about a $25 / day rental car.....well I pay for that rider on my policy so what is the problem?  I am not a criminal, it would be great if I wouldn't be treated like one.  Sorry I'm venting.

So, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that my "baby" will come out of this experience and drive exactly like it did prior to the incident.  As you all (all one of you) know, I am a serious car freak and I very much baby my stuff, so I'm pretty stressed about this.  Cheers!
