Yup, pwned.
Of course, let us review who's *had* to get more work done.
High point was Subaru Santa Cruz giving me a brand new, (60 miles on the odo new) Legacy wagon for nearly a month while they did my headgaskets

I don't drive autos too often so I don't know if this is normal for new cars, but this Corolla, when in 'D' and I let off the brake, the car doesn't even roll.
Is that how new transmissions are configured, or does that car just have that little power?
Insurance guy didn't call me back before he went home, so I'm going to leave him another message sometime tonight (probably around 3am just so if he listens to the time the msg was received maybe I'll freak him out a bit) and then call his supervisor at 10am if he hasn't called back.
My insurance only covers $30/day for rental, which means I'm going to get stuck with the sales tax like last time. It should only be $20 or $30 but still, I shouldn't have to pay it again, so I'll make sure he knows that.
Also, I'm going to tell my insurance company I want them to pay the dealer for a FULL diag test - compression tests, every check Maita can run to come back and give my car a clean bill of health. This accident needs to be gone. Do you guys think that's asking too much?

When my car was at Maita, I got a new Corolla.....I think I could have got out and run faster than that car.
I also had a Galant and a Cavalier when body work was done. The Galant is slooooooooooowwwwww.
The Cavalier is actually a pretty fast car!!! Too bad the suspension was terrible.
