Crunch :-(

Last Friday, on my way to Houston, I was involved in an auto accident.  I was in the center lane of 290 waiting to make a left into my normal gas station in Giddings.  I had just started my turn when I saw a car start to pull out of the lot, have a brief moment I don't remember, then felt my car move sideways.  She hit me in the driver's side doors

Sorry to hear about the accident; but good to know you're, mostly, ok.

Thanks.

Boy, I hate that. At least the insurance company is being reasonable. I still don't have any money from the T-bird.

Too bad there's that damage to the rear fender; otherwise you might have gotten away with just replacing the doors and still have factory paint all around.

Not having a B pillar in there may have kept it from being totalled, by the way. That would have been frame damage, and that's expensive.

It's absurd that you don't have money from the T-bird yet. Any chance of it coming through in the future?

I'm also hoping there's no frame damage. The repair shop should start taking everything apart tomorrow, once new doors arrive. They've been waiting until that point before beginning to prevent gaping holes in the car for an extended period of time. Keep your fingers crossed that they don't find anything new!

I quite agree, but the only way I'm going to get more than $500 is in court, and that's all up to my dad, since it's technically his car.
