The ongoing saga of my car

Alright, I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but I've been stressed out by this whole car situation, and I've been on the phone for at least an hour or two a day for the last 3 weeks. I've been dealing with Clara Turner's insurance, my insurance (claims, adjustors, agents, total loss specialists, and much much more!!), banks, credit unions, used car salesmen, shipping companies, highway patrolmen, my parents, and maybe one or two more that I forgot about.

Bottom line, I'm ordering a replacement car from a used car dealership in Houston, which will be covered by the money I'm getting from my insurance company for my old one. It is the same as my other car, only it is an EX (the trim level above my old one) and a two-door coupe (which I'd actually prefer). Kim saw the ad for it on ebay and she emailed it to me. It is basically the same price as my old one. However, I did order it from a used car dealership in Houston (which seems good based on all the investigating I've done), and it scares me just a little to purchase a car that I haven't actually seen. After speaking with Jacob Hubik, friend and employee of Alliance Federal Credit Union, there is not much risk in doing all of this. It is being delivered sometime either today or tomorrow to Arlington, and I'll get it out here somehow or another. Today, I did get a little spooked when a highway patrolmen called me and said that the truck with my car didn't stop at a waystation and claimed he wasn't transporting the car commercially, it was for a friend named Pete. But after calling the shipping company and talking with them, it seems like it was just a dumb truckdriver who was trying to make up a story to try to get out of some trouble with the cops for not having proper documentation or something. I'm more than a bit anxious to get this car and have the whole thing over with. Further car bulletins as events warrant.

I don't have much else on my mind right now, so that will be all for now.

Sounds like a big whipping of a situation! But at least you do get a better car. The coupes are really nice looking. Sorry I'm not going to Lubbock this weekend, or I'd be happy to bring you back with me.
