Thus far, our red girl has been housed at the repair shop for longer than we actually had her here. Her first payment was made without her sitting in the drive. However, I phoned shop B today to find out an update and SHE'S COMING HOME TOMORROW!
Y'all, somehow State Farm approved FACTORY replacement parts and what ended up being the replacement of the ENTIRE exhaust system, meaning the pipe from all the way up under the motor there somewhere to the back along with the two mufflers. The body work has been handled. The final work was being completed today and tomorrow late afternoon, F2 is coming home to stay.
We have missed her so.
Somehow all the stress, all the yelling, the hanging up, the sleepless nights and all has amounted to everything finally being handled in the way it needed done. I can give Hertz their Nissan Sentra back, and I can go from being a Minnesota adoptee for a bit to back to an Ohioan.
Am I proud of the way that I/we have handled the situation? Nope. Unfortunately we did crack under the pressure and we did not ooze God's love, grace and forgiveness as we should have. We have asked for forgiveness. We have re-tuned. The dust has settled. :deep breath:
She's coming home. May the healing continue and the drivers behind us stop before they reach us.
