I think I broke it...

First off I am glad to see that you are ok! So how did the estimate come out on the zombie hunter?

[mrsbrockgrimes]

I'm very happy that I'm okay. Got a good bruise on my left thigh where the window crank was, but other than that good to go.

The adjuster estimated about $3,700 in repairs (plus the $500 deductible) but the shop hasn't even managed to do their inspection yet, so that number might change.

Wow just seen this,First and foremost glad your OK. Second don't settle for what the adjusters throw at you and take it to your choice of repair shops because they will try to use their substandard shops to save money. And good luck.

Well the body shop says it'll be ready in a few days.
They are finishing up then it's down to the tire shop for tires,
they are replacing the zombie sticker btw, then it's back to us.
Long enough for me to pull the stock tires and get bigger ones,
and possibly a long arm suspension kit, yet to be decided on.
It's got a 4" short arm but the trans/t-case drop isn't cool.

What you do is point all the bads of your current ride and the good of a new ride.
You live in OH, and driving the accord in the snow is a PITA.
It's much safer for you 2 to ride in the Rubi, what do you do during a
real bad snow if you need to get out and about. Not to mention resell value,
my '06 is valued at $22k. LOL, Plus my wife loves her's and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Uh huh. You remember that when I'm asking you for help fixing things on my Jeep and that it isn't that same as "Here, would you take over for me?"

But, I got it back now so yays!

those body shops are a joke dont settle for less than new panels and a new door none of these guys seem to be trained in metalwork or they wouldnt ever need to use bondo my ex had an accident in a new vehicle and when i see them repairing it i went ballistic and charged them for the damage they did to a brand new vehicle adding bondo to it

i fixed the vehicle myself and gave the insurence check to my ex for the kids and i never used any bondo on it

[BrockGrimes]

It's been long fixed the right way.
Here's how it sits today only dirtier, LOL.
