Finally

I finally got my R32 back from the shop.  Sort of.  It's been 4 weeks and 1 day (but who's counting) since I last drove my R32, but I got the call from the dealer this afternoon that it was ready for my test drive.  I only went out for a few minutes and made sure that things seemed functional.  Then took it over to the body shop to see what their plan was for the car.  They were ready to rock and roll on it, but they understood that I may want to hang on to my car for a few days.  And believe me, after driving it again there was no way they were going to get the car back from me immediately.  I'm going to keep it for the rest of the week and the weekend, then I'll drop if off Monday for body work.  It should be ready for me Friday, but as I have learned recently, I won't be counting on it.

So here's the final bill.  The descriptions are a little terse (and questionable) but that's how they show up on the bill:

Support	$118.76
Stoneguard	$43.63
Coverplate	$43.63
Dampening	$38.39
Wheel	478.74 (times 2)
Steering Rack	$960.00
Tie Rod	$126.46
Tie Rod	$126.46
Clip	$4.86
Clip	$1.20
Pump	$340.85
Ring	$261.92
Oil	$25.22
Alignment	$69.95
Tire Balance	$15.00

Then there's some other misc charges and labor for a grand total of $4223.08.  Hooray for insurance!

At the body shop they're going to repair a few panels, and that actually requires them to also replace my clear bra pretty much everywhere but the hood.  See, I knew this accident would be a good thing.

Now the real question:  Should I wait to go back to Rist Canyon Road until after the body shop?  I don't think I can stay away.
