And off I go

Got a call from my insurance appraiser last night and the road is now clear for me to start shopping. He said there was far too much electrical damage to my car, plus with the cost of replacing the steering column because of the air bag, it's not worth it to try and get it fixed. He said I should have a settlement from the insurance company by the end of the week. I have to go pick up my license plates today and then it's no longer my car. So sad. But yay, new car.
