Posting this for no particular reason, other than hoping I can make FromZto5 shudder noticeably as he imagines Marilyn in the conditions Lucy is enjoying right now. Blizzaks FTW!

I'm going to specify to the repair shop that I don't want them to do anything to the car other than replace that panel. No buffing, cleaning, washing, anything.
Once they get the panel and get it painted, there is no reason it should take longer than a day to get the car finished.
Once I get a tracking unit installed on it, I'm mainly just worried about them trying to take it for a spin or similar. Will probably setup a mykey for it(even though the shop I am more than likely to take it is a dealer shop), plus, on Saturday I completely scrubbed out the inside of all the fender wells, so I will be able to tell if anyone does a burnout or similar.
I know I am paranoid as ****, but I just feel violated. Especially on a 2 month old car. And I was planning a trip up to Dallas this month with the mustang that has to be cancelled now.

2 months old??? Sorry about that man... that is crazy.
And to deal with the "depreciated value" on my 2 month old car? That would seriously drive me insane. I'm very sorry to hear that. Not sure if I could look/feel at my car the same way
Sue that dude.... 
(I know it's not really feasible... but just sayin')Nice Shiaz!!! But is that a Chevy Lumina parked next to you??? WTF... why didn't you park next to something more worthy?
Marilyn and I need some quality alone time together. I need to give her an 8 hour detail, top to bottom...

You know, that's another aspect that I forgot about... the joyriding possibility. I know it's probably very rare that it occurs, but jokes aside, I do know of 2 people, myself being one of them, where that occured. When I bought my Acura, my car had 10 miles, period. I picked it up a couple days later, it had 56. I about lost it with the general manager. None of them could explain where the 46 extra miles came from. My other buddy took it to a shop to get some work done for the day. Comes back to pick it up and noticed the dirt on car, plus the extra miles. Shop attributed it to "test drives to verify the work done". Excessive no doubt.

Sue that dude.... (I know it's not really feasible... but just sayin')Just got off the phone with the insurance people. They are going to send an estimator/appraiser to my house within the next two days to gauge the damage. The lady was extremely nice and apologetic, so far so good.
You can bet your *** I'm going to go after money to make up for the depreciated value on the car, however small it is. And, scars help us learn from our mistakes, this is definitely a learning experience for me. Life could be a lot worse, I just have to be thankful for what I do have, and that I am in good health. Most people my age would probably love to have to worry about a crushed fender on a new mustang. At least there is only body damage(from my inspections).
Just ordered an MGW shifter to help myself feel better.

^ Well stated. I agree, we all have better things in life to be thankful for. It just sucks that even though it's a "material" thing, it's something that WE worked very hard for, and that we value a lot, and has sentimental meaning to us. And to have that all damaged by irresponsible people (granted, an accident, but still, if he was careful, it would not have happened) gets me livid.
Keep us posted on the estimator/updates. Now you have me glued to your events.
As far as the MGW purchase... GREAT FIND. As you know, I've had my MGW on mine since almost new. One of my best mods.

Just got a call from the estimator. Going to be stopping by my work tomorrow mid day(which unfortunately means I am going to have to drive it up to work, I'll just stick in the right lane so most people won't see the fender, lol)

The abridged:
Got asked to go grab some dog food, looked it up online, PetsMart said they closed at 7 on the website. Get to petsmart, me and five other people are walking up to the door, and they are closed(they all looked it up online). Leaving parking lot, and somebody backs into me. His truck was lifted just high enough to not hit the wheel. Nice guy, exchanged insurance information, screamed at the top of my lungs the whole way home(not joking), resisted punching the **** out of everything on my way home, and made a claim.

I already have the 401A Shift Boot, so I ordered the shifter and the classic black ball(the revision comes with the deluxe jam nut and washer).
I'll have to get it installed before I take it to the shop, so I can make sure the employees don't miss second to third when they take it for a joyride

Thanks! Same here. From when I talked to them last week, they should be in stock this week, so now would be a good time to order one!

What's new about the MGW shifter from when I got mine?

That's neat to know... Proof that technology keeps evolving for the better. I wonder if it's worth buying and installing a new one.

Here is my frozen '14 at work. Rarely do we get weather like this in Mississippi. The ice was still on the car when I got to work.
