So I dropped Nicole off at the collision center to get an estimate of the repairs.

After I was told to pull her around back, she wouldn’t start.

There’s a anti-theft system recall that finally manifested itself. I had thought I had dodged that bullet.

So my car insurance company had to tow my car to the dealership to fix the recall issue (luckily, I kept the letter in my glove compartment). Afterward, they will bring it back to the collision center for repairs.

I have no idea how long this all will take.

Meanwhile, I have a rental Prius.

Indefinitely.

A Prius.
