5 Stages of Grief... for a car in the body shop!

Tweet

Is your car your world? Does it mean everything to you? Has it ever been in the shop longer than intended and you started going through stages about your car. In april I hurt my car a little and put it in the shop May 7th. I got a rental. The rental did not lock and May 9th I switched cars. May 11th I was in a car accident (with the rental) and May 12th got a new rental. Already I was ready for MY Car to be back. June 4th my rental was up because it had been 30 days, as long as my insurance would cover. I still don't have my car from the body shop! I've been promised 5 different dates and still NO CAR! So they allowed me to have the loaner car and let me explain that the loaner car is the EPITOME of EVERYTHING I HATE about a car. By this point I've been through Denial, Anger and Depression. I'm to the point where I'm ready to bargain... "please just as long as the door stays shut and I can lock it, let me have my car and I'll bring it back in when the part comes in?" I hope I NEVER have to accept it and I get my car back SOON. 5 stages of grief...for a car!
