Totaled my truck.

CHEVY fan here but bought a Ram for two reasons.
price, I now have more $ in maintenance than I bought it for.
easier to work on, this has kinda worked out well because it seems I am constantly working on it.

Definitely the glass is half full attitude. Find the positive in everything.

We were supposed to pick up my wife's XC-60 last Friday, but it was delayed because the new wheel they ordered
was late getting delivered.
We are supposed to get it back today.
Our insurance pays for 30 days rental only. The amount they pay covers a Smart Car
The Honda was a $30/day upgrade, but using her employer's corporate account got us a $15/day discount.
Between the $500 deductible, the $500 uninsured motorist deducible and $15/ day for the rental, we are out
about $1500.
I'm concerned about the hit the transmission and engine took.
The hit was hard enough to break the left front wheel, strut and some linkage components
I hope we don't start having transmission issues a few months down the road.
The vehicle is paid for and this is not a good time to buy a car.
They are asking more for a 2 year old model XC-60 with 25K on it than we paid for a new one in 2016

it's not my insurance so there is no limit on rental, just got extended to May 17 after i told them give me the car then and adjuster said no it's a safety issue (sensor bracket for lane departure and brakeing) we'll extend rental

We were supposed to get Mrs gcode's ride back yesterday build the expediter at the body shop rejected the paint job
and sent it back for rework. Sounds like BS to me.
At any rate they said it would be ready for pick up late today
