I Missed My Own Car

By ahmil | December 7th, 2008

So I’ve been driving this rental that the insurance company is paying for a week now.  The car is ok but like any rental, it has this strange smell that is really bothersome.  The interior was not the cleanest either.  Strange how we are ok with our own filth but when it’s someone else’s, it just seems so much more yicky!  Also I swear I got the car with 3/4 tank full.  But I drove one day and the tank was less than 1/4 left.  Also the tires air pressure light was on.  I didn’t even noticed it, but thought I better check.  My hubby checked and filled all the tires up and the light did go off.  If not, I would have taken it back to them and have a different car.

At first I thought it was no big deal and was really thinking of not bringing it in.  Believe it or not for a small thing that I thought it was, it would cost a grant total of $2000.  Beside the bumper, the inner lining of the trunk was bent so that needed replacing as well.

In a way I am glad I did even though it was a pain with the stream of calls back and forth with the insurance companies both mine and the other party’s.  Hate to say that their insurance company was a lot easier to deal with and seemed to be more competent!  I thought it was just a scratch on the bumper and didn’t even noticed that the trunk was actually misaligned.  It is a relieved to know that the car will be in good shape again.

I am suppose to get my car back this coming Friday.  Can’t wait!!!!
