Fixed Felix?
We'll find out today. We're going to pick him up... specifically, I am going to pick him after a repair, not replacement of the bumper. I realized that it *IS* the dealer doing the repairs after all. I don't think I can find someone more qualified or better at repairing these cars than them, so I need to be OK with a repair instead of a replacement.
I've learned, and you should learn from my mistake, that there is sometimes a "don't have to get an adjuster to look at it if it's less than a certain amount" amount. ASK about this... you may want to get an estimate and decide to NOT have an adjuster look at the damages... if you're happy with your body shop selection and happy with their solution and the amount is low enough, then maybe you can get exactly what you want without hassle.
I wish we would have done this and gotten a new bumper, but I'll live with a repair. The molding will be brand new. And, the repair is guaranteed for as long as we own the car. Since it's brand-spanking-new, I hope that ends up being a long time.
Yes, the Canes lost... I blame it on my crew who are NOT Caniacs and did not care about being on-time. Without encouragement from me from the moment the puck drops, my Canes just could not beat the Devils. I am waiting for my little sister to call me to gloat. Of course, I can gloat back that I was, at least, at the game while she watched it on TV.
