She lasted longer than I did...
I got into an accident when my car was less than a month old. My sister lasted much longer. Slightly less damage because it was an SUV, but the bumper didn't contact with her bumper. That means the damage was more than it should have bean. This happened from a stop, accelerating from a distance of less than 10 feet.

Rep Power: 419 Yeah, but the sucky thing is that the bank still owns part of the car since it's not all payed off yet. The check she received is made out to her, my dad, and the bank. It's weird. I'll find a good body shop tomorrow and go with my sister to get the car taken care of. I have this one body shop in mind that does perfect work because they milk the insurance company for all they're worth. Hehe... [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 413 This looks even worse in person........ There is some hefty damage in there, like the A/C condensor support, the radiator support, and the whole front of the car needs to be redone. She was only going like 15???? Hmmmmm, "You're suspect..."
As long as she wasn't hurt in the accident though.....

Rep Power: 419 Today we went out to this one body shop in Boston. I looked them up on the web and they seemed decent. From the look of the shop and what I saw today I think they are much better than the one I went to. We'll see how my sister's car looks like in the end, but I think it should look like it did before the accident. The guy seemed really knowledgeable and he went over the process of restoring the car to it's former glory.
We had a seriously tough time finding the place though! My sister took a wrong turn on the way there, so we got lost in the city. I took the lead and we got separated on this one intersection because my sister decided to not follow me. There were a ton of people behind her honking and what not, but she still could have followed me. It took me a while to find the place, but I then had to wait another two hours for my sister to show up!
I'm tired. At least my sister bought me three bacon cheeseburgers from Burger King though!

Rep Power: 419 Haha! The bodyshop gave us a call today and they said it's all set. I guess I picked a good place after all. We didn't have to nag them or anything and they finished sooner than they said they would. Props to them on that account. Now if she gets her car back in tip top shape I will be reccomending that bodyshop to all of my friends.
