RE: Apparently, I needn't have worried about traffic...
That ticks me off when insurance companies say that. Of course what they mean is, it's not worth it to THEM to fix. Who are they to tell me the car I spent so much time and money on, and had so many experiences in (first dates, vacations, etc...), isn't worth fixing. "According to our book, the car you spent so much time and money on, is worth only $1500. Here's a check to buy yourself another car." Buncha ******!
They can honk on bobo too!

well you didn't expect them to just pop up and say "Oh yes sir, we will pay for that in full and then a little right now...." did you?

.Updating this:
The police have closed the report, labeling it a "hit and run". The gal who backed into my '87 MC LS has hung up on the police officer and has managed to (so far) elude responsibility, since she never gave me her last name (despite also giving me the name and ph# of her insurance agent) and is now not answering her phone, or hanging up on people.... Arg. And, of course, the van she hit me with has not returned to the scene. My insurance company tells me they are "investigating"....
Meantime, the '87 MC LS goes in tomorrow (Wednesday) for repairs. Estimate is about $150; but, that could easily go up, depending on what they find "underneath" the bumper when they go to re-adjust it to where it is supposed to be. And, that doesn't include painting, which, for now, I've declined. Anyway, I'll get stuck with the bill, since I have a $250 deductible. I sure hope that once it is fixed and the insurance company pays out the rental reimbursement, they kick their "investigation" up a notch.
It's just frustrating ... the damage IS minor, but I'm stuck paying for something I didn't do. Plus, as I noted before, this is the first time in 3 "hit and runs" that I've experienced where the person has actually left a note ... and I still feel like I'm getting the raw end of the deal. I don't want to play hardball, since it is minor damage, and, sure, I could let it go (i.e. NOT get my '87 MC LS fixed) ... but, I know the damage is there ... and it bugs the crap out of me.
Course, if we do "catch" this gal ... and she pays ... chances are, if she hits someone like that again, she won't leave a note....
Irony rocks.
