Karen, have you checked for the "little black cloud" that's been following
you? I think it's high time it left. Sorry about the wreck & I'm glad you
are okay. The last guy in the collision has to pay for the whole thing, at
least in my state, so why can't you get the rental you want, right?Geeze.

Hey sweetie, you know that I'm so thankful that you weren't hurt, but how aggravating that you have to deal with all that goes with this. An inconvenience to say the least. Good thing KLo wasn't with you. I've heard that an unrestrained dog could go flying through the windshield with even a low speed crash and fly into you in the process. I think there was an angel on duty.

Karen, I'm so sorry this happened. Poor thing. Glad you're not hurt. I have a Pontiac Vibe and it's great for transporting the dogs. The Toyota Matrix is pretty much the same car.

Yup, here too, Liz. So there was a silver lining in that gawd-awful black cloud. I pay for nothing.

i was given my "own" adjuster from the guy's insurance company who could handle any rental problems etc. The wimp had to ask his boss if I could upgrade 'cause they'll only pay $23.95 a day. He was going to call me back. Never did. It was just principle on my part. Actually (shhh), I rather like the Corolla and after a minute of hesitation, Mz Princezz gingerly jumped on the floor, then hopped into the seat. She loved the back windows open. And yes, dirty feet from the Dog Park, lots of hair of course, and a widdle birdie even baptisted the car today! So I feel really good about the mess!!!
