My car has been officially declared a total loss. That's pretty bad. Today, I went ahead and signed the release forms so that the body shop may hand it over to the towing company arranged by my insurance company. The car looks pretty bad and I seem to have originally underestimated the damages. They have tore down the trunk and dumped it on to the back seat already. It looks ugly with a lot of dust and like an orphan car. That was a little hard for me to take, considering that it was in perfect condition 10 days back. Well, the car did start ;) I left all the spare keys, the owners manual in the glove compartment. I took some parting away pictures. My car's fate had to end like this. It'll now go to to a salvage yard in North Hollywood where some random people are going to auction the several good parts left in my car. The front side of the car looks good. There should have been no engine damage. The rear is screwed. The seats look good and it is a luxury edition - so the interior looks good. The seats have been partially spoiled because they have dumped all the bumper, trunk parts, broken indicators, etc on the back seats. I had to reach out for some of my personal belongings. The car is with the other cars that have been badly damaged.
It must be a lot of work to fix that car, I can imagine. The preliminary estimate only is ten thousand dollars. Now I have to look for a new car. I think I'll mostly go with a new car. I may choose Honda this time. There is a small desire to go for a luxury car, but I am not sure if it will be worth it. I have to ask people. Have to decide quickly.
My wife returned on Sunday night and one of my friends was kind enough to offer me a ride to the airport that day to pick her up. The weekend was spent working in full swing. I slept only at 1 AM on Sunday night ;) I still have a lot more work to do, with the distraction of car stuff. I have a beach party to attend this weekend, in celebration of the success of our music event. My wife seems to have had a decent trip to the east coast. She has taken some nice pictures. She has now been to places I've not been to ;)
