I just spoke to my insurance rep. My car is scheduled for an “appraisal” late Thursday afternoon. I don’t know if they’re appraising it to judge whether or not the car is worth repairing, or to appraise it to figure out how much of a check they should send me to total the vehicle.
I imagine I’ll know, one way or the other, sometime Friday.
And then I’ll possibly be going car shopping next week. (The Toyota Matrix is leading the pack.)
Meanwhile, I hate my rental. Okay, that’s not entirely true, but I don’t much like my rental. I think that’s true of any rental car. It’s different than mine. It’s bigger, uglier, clunky. It’s an automatic. It’s got weird indicators on the dash, and I’ve spent more time than I enjoy flipping through the owner’s manual trying to identify them. I miss having a clutch pedal.
