Barring a lot of hidden damage, it's right in the middle at 5K. The upside is that I can forget to use my turn signals for the next few weeks.

Don't care for it at all. I told Enterprise to let me know when they get a Durango or Grand Cherokee back in so I can trade.

An X5 I might consider hanging on to for the duration.

Where you getting the repairs?

Same place that did my hail repair twice, Fix Auto just off Blackfoot and 58th. It used to be the of bodyshop location of one of the Ford dealers ( Universal, I think ). They did a super job on matching my red metallic/pearl paint last time after having to replace the roof panel and hood. They still have the same body men on staff from 4 years ago, too. It came out looking like the day I bought it.

You owned a Mazda3?

You owned a Mazda3?

Sure did. I needed a good commuter car for my 40 mile trips to work every day. Nice 2.0/6 speed. What I saved in gas compared to the 2500 paid for the car.

The Mazda3 6 spd is probably one of the best "Save the Manual" cars out there. Unfortunately underpowered.

Not to be confused with "Save the Manuel"

My cousin in Green Bay just wrecked (totaled) 2 brand new Miata Abarth's with 1.4 turbo in the last 2 weeks. And he bought a 3rd one. The last one only had 800 miles on it.

Well, the total is $8101, and she's all apart waiting for the 5K in OEM replacement parts. Headlight assembly alone is $1200, and another $900 for the bumper cover. That washer bottle is $300. It has a puncture. in it just above the fluid level
