AwSOME!!!
I am sorry that you went through this but you should definitly sue the insurance company or somehow because they should've totalled the car ... and damage is more than half of what car cost..
because of your patient, it will pay you back sometime with good news

UPDATE:
I got the call yesterday .... my car is FINISHED !!! It is just over 4 months since the accident. They are detailing it today and I will pick it up after work. What a LONGGGGG process. I am praying that this thing runs the way that I remember. That being said.... I am not sure I even remember how it performed before.

Now you can relax and have a cold one

Better late than never.
That said, don't be surprised if there are some odds and ends that aren't 100% sorted out. Your car has gone through major trauma and significant surgery.
Stay away from crazies and enjoy it.

I would trade that car now for an 09 when they come out. Dump it quick while there is warranty left.

My car is leased, so no point in doing that as it will cost me too much to get out of the lease early. Also, at lease end, I will just turn it in without any financial hit whatsoever.
Just drive it and hopefully you won't have to worry about it. I'm glad to hear your ordeal is just about over. Good luck!
