Totaled

I got a call from the adjuster just now and the body shop is calling it totaled. They said there was suspension damage as well as everything else. I honestly think the shop wants it to fix up for a sale unit.

INTERESTING: I spoke to the shop yesterday and they said they checked codes on the car and the only code was the automatic seat belt tensioner. He said they cleared it and there were no others. He said it was normal for them to smoke when deployed...REALLY? I doubt that very much! Is it also normal for it to totally drain the battery as well? The smell was definitely burned wires. I was a professional electrician for 17 years...I know the smell.

Anyway...it's time to start looking for a replacement car in earnest!!!
