Off topic for a second: Um, but it wasn't his fault. Why would you assault someone when you'd end up in prison? And what happens if the other driver is carrying a gun? Violence just isn't the answer when it comes to car accidents. Also, the other driver was a super nice guy and very understanding.

The esimate would need to be close to $13,000 to total the car. I was hoping that would be the case, but as of today, no luck. I imagine if there's another supplement for the passenger seat (base is crushed) for $2500, that might do the trick. I'm actually surpised it is at $11,000. It really doesn't look all that bad.

Thanks! When I get the car back, I'm taking it to MINI of Peabody to have a few things done and I'm going to inquire about the seat airbags and exactly how they're supposed to function.
