Insurance had me get three ******* estimates on the damage, none of which they paid for, none of which they paid for the expenses to haul the car to either of the three dealerships. Luckily my dad has a trailer.
The punk little weasle adjuster took the lowest amount from each of the estimates (lowest price on each part), then proceeded to tell me that I didn't need certain things like a new k-member, or a new torque arm (that it didn't need one at all), but he gave me money for a new tire
and said that I could drive around with dinged up and bent exhaust. They gave me $4500 minus the deductible so I got $4000 which was barely enough for all the parts. If I would have had to pay for labor I would have been screwed. We are currently fighting the FDOT and Expressway authority, they are "investigating" it and say we may not hear back from them until six months down the road. We also might take action against insurance with sending us an adjuster that doesn't know **** about cars. Luckily my brother is a lawyer and is helping me out with all of this. Although he doesn't know **** about cars either and drives a f'ing Volvo station wagon lol

Insurance fucked me on this car just like they did when the red dragon got totalled. I may just tell them to f themselves and go find a new company.
