You might or might not remember !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! featured on a simulcast of the Lifetime and Oprah netrowk Oppo, about my hail damage and the repair job. Well, after careful consultation I have decided to take the cash option and not get the car fixed. $5,000 will be paid to me, paid against the note of the car and subsequently I will have probably $500 cash left over which will promptly got wards another $5,000 loan soon to be taken out for the new-ish Kitchen. Goddammit. Nut, that does free up $220 of car payments over the next two years to use for said kitchen. that mini will get done someday....

So what are you doing for replacement wheels?

We used to have a 99 Camry that was damaged by golf ball sized hail. It was 10 years old at that point, so we didn't bother getting the damage repaired. It was nice in a sense, because it reduced a lot of stress about keeping the exterior nice. We no longer had to care about parking lot dings. None of the glass or lights were damaged, so that was a plus.

No. I'm gonna keep the Mazda3 and drive it all dented up. Paid off for a couple of years. It's really only "the airport car" being driven to and from for work. The commuter. I put 7-8,000 mile on it in a year and all it does is sit at the airpot or sit at the house unless i have some errands to run but that's it. The replacement car is on jackstands in the garage waiting a new floor (78-mini) but the kitchen gets new cabinets/counter instead this year.

no replacement. i drive the dented hail damaged car. It's black so it doesn't look so bad until you get closer., but it's only a commuting car anyway really. Sits at the airport for 4 days then home for 3 every week.
