Continuing Saga: my car

First they told me it was totalled.  Boohoo.  Then they said, oh wait, it really isn't!  So, I give it to the man at the body shop to have his way with her.  The insurance company called today.  Oops, well, somebody made a mistake and, yes, repair went over the 75% to consider it totalled, to 83%.  What does that mean?  They found my 13 year old Honda Civic Hatchback to be worth $4500!  What?  I only paid $9000 more than that brand new!  13 years ago!!!!!  So, I got a friend to take me to get my car.  oooooo, she is beautiful!!!!!  She's all shiney with all new front end parts.  And she's washed inside and out, like brand spanking new!  Just the roof with it's sun damage looks a little shabby.  What to do now?  Insurance company wants to keep it.  Resale value for them is only $2700, and I would get $4500.  Body shop guy says it's a no brainer...keep the car!  It runs great, looks like new, and, most of all, only has 95,000 miles on it.  What to do???  Insurance company would pay me the difference of salvage value if I keep it, around $1800.  That would be more than enuf to paint the rest of the car and then some.  Hmmm, does sorta sound like a no brainer, doesn't it!

w00t!  I have my car back and she's sooooo pretty.  /me does the Penni dance.
