thats the real world and in the real world people are not nice.
makes it hard for me to be nice to people, then when your not nice they say your mean and a..hole or stuck up.
good luck with your car, at least your still ok (think of it that way)

thanks guys!!!!! I went to the shop yesterday, and spoke with my buddy who is manager. This is a high volume place that is always at odds with the insurance company's because he does things right. He explained I'll need a new door skin right off. He also found a crack in the bonnet near the left headlamp that I didn't even notice. He also found a crack in the rear near the gas tank lid. It was my left rear tire that got smoked (just purchased new ones last spring!!), so that will need replacing. The saw blade is also bent. On a good note, there are some other areas on the drivers side that got scuffed, but can be repaired. My buddy said that with some "extra" paint, he will do the rocker panels, which are blemished from road use. My buddy said that as a matter of course, the entire car will be inspected; in, out, and under. I hope I feel the same about it when it comes back. Thanks for the support, as usual. I couldn't bear to take pictures!!!! Watch out for the semi's, 'cause a lot of them aren't watchin' for you!!!!!!

I am glad to hear that it will work out OK for you and you don't need to take JrRifleCoach's advise.
