Small Update
Well, my car is in the shop, now. We thought it was going to be drivable, but when Mom tried to take it out the other day, she said it started jerking and acting pretty weird. So, rather than driving it to a bunch of shops for estimates, we just took it to a local dealership. They don't sell Fords, but they can fix them. No word yet on how that'll go.
But, one bit of good news. Mom called me last night and said that she'd talked to the insurance people, and they said our policy would cover us getting a rental car to use while mine's in the shop. But we had to go to the rental place today at 11:00. Now, this wouldn't be so bad, normally. But for a couple of things. First, they said that if I wanted to drive the car, I had to go, so they could put me in the paperwork. (And no, just giving them my license wouldn't work.) So, I had to get up at 10:30 today, which is really freaking early for me. Oh, and then I had to come to work at 2:00. =P I'd hoped that I'd have time to go back to sleep for a bit before work, but it didn't work out that way. We did get to go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, afterward, though. That was nice.
So, I'm running on maybe three hours of sleep right now. I'm probably going to fall asleep as soon as I'm horizontal. But, we got a nice car. It's a little four door Hyundai sedan. I've never driven a Hyundai before, but it handles pretty nicely. It's even got a satellite radio in it, which is awesome. It's a huge improvement on the Mustang, that's for damn sure.
So now I have this car to take to work, and Mom and Dad can have the Mustang if they want to go out in the evenings. I'm glad for that.
