Experience shopping for quotes have shown that they are all the same except for Maaco which is always cheapest. And going to the most expensive shop only hurts all the regular shmucks' insurance premiums. I went back to Windsor Bodyworks as I've done the last 2 times for this car.

It happened near Tecumseh Road and Pillette. Pm sent.

err yah, I guess that would only be a good thing to do if they were paying.

Okay, that wasn't clear. People's injuries in auto accidents are often made more severe when they see it coming and brace for impact, especially head and neck injuries. This is because while you can brace your feet against the floor and your arms against the wheel or dash, this just leaves your head as the first thing that's going to move - hence more severe/deadly head and neck injuries. Been there, done that - both ways. In two separate nearly head on collisions. In the first, I never saw it coming, but my neck injuries were less severe than the 2nd, even though the car that hit me was travelling more than 2x as fast in the first incident, and I was driven backwards 25m from the point of impact. In the 2nd, I saw it coming and braced against the wheel - with the result my head snapped worse, and I needed months of physio. In the case of the drunk, they're not reacting well at all (if he was, he might have avoided the accident) - he's more of a rag doll at the moment of impact, and ironically, this helps the drunk be less likely to be, or less severely, injured.
Less weird?

I'm not usually very litigious, but I would seriously considering suing. This guy needs to be punished.

Suing him for what?

The hour or two spent taking my car in and getting a loaner. That's all I've lost. The insurance pays for the repairs and loaner.

This guy done some major, at fault damage to his own sportcute and has been charged for impaired driving. I think the insurance company have found themself a new b*tch for the next 7 years (?). On top of that, he spent the night in jail and now has a trial date which he isn't going to beat.

The only satisfaction I could have had passed when the cop arrived before I realized that if this would have happened during the day, my kids would have been outside.
