i jsut talked to the body shop adn looked at teh car some more. sounds like they think it will be in the repair range. i dunno what to think of that.
at this point this whole thing is gonna cost me a bbunch of cash either way and i get make payments on a car i likely won't see again for another month.

once teh estimate is written up i will get to talk to the adjuster about it.
later
