Insurance dude showed up today. Awesome guy. Wrote it up as a ‘replace’ instead of a ‘repair’. Told me to expect to have to pay the deductable, but they’d see what they could do.

Only problem is that the area shops are still so backed up with repairs from the hail storm this summer that it may take months to get it repaired.

Overall, I’m ok with it. Glad to get a replacement bumper cover, but still don’t think I necessarily should have to pay for the old douchebag’s stupidity.
