Update on El Coche

Well....I still don't have it. The 1st time it was late was because the insurance adjuster took their sweet old time about actually seeing the car & agreeing to the amount of work that needed to be done. then They only signed off on about 2/3 of the work. My mechanic got upset and told them they better approve all the work, because he wasn't going to do a 1/2 assed job on the car. The 2nd time it was late was because the insurance adjuster did approve the rest of the work.....but didn't bother to tell my mechanic that until several days after. He called them on a Monday to ask about it and they said 'oh we signed off on that Friday.'....so that was another delay. Now.....we have the 3rd delay...my mechanic was spraying the last clear coat on my car.....and there was some sort of chemical reaction, and the paint has to be completely re-done. So....barring further mishaps....I should have the car late next week.....6 weeks after this whole thing started and almost twice as long as the original time estimate. sigh
