Why is there no "I Drive Like A Jerk" National Register for people like this?

I keep fearing my wife will bring the S2K home one day a bit battered. She now parks "far out" but she thinks going into a store, being only 2-3 empty spaces paste the next-furthest-out car is enough; I point out the spaces in between can fill while she's in the store.

They will let me know if he was caught, and if he had insurance when the report is officially filed at the end of this week.

On the other hand, repair shop has finished with the estimate and it is as follows!

$3,000 in damage, 8 days to repair.

I'm really bummed about how long this will take. I was hoping for half that time.

For now... I am driving a lovely 2015 Nissan Pathfinder with a whopping 12 miles. Hehe. Feels like a semi-truck.

PS: Rental car cost me $104 + 150 deposit for 4 days, now I have to let them know to double that for 8 days! $208 + $150 deposit.

ITS OFFICIAL. I'm never parking near people again.

Good work takes time. Better it take twice the time you hoped, but comes out perfect.
Bummer, but it could have been so much worse. And thankfully no one is physically injured.

The estimate says 4 days, Geico's website says 8 and my adjuster said 8 as well. Guess it will just have to be a surprise!

Thankfully its repairable, thats the bright side.
