... let me tell you about my f'n day.
I get a call from the body shop that's fixing my Fiat. The guy handling my claim, let's call him "Shithead", tells me that the black plastic egg-crate-like inserts for my rear bumper that were damaged when I was rear-ended are not available anywhere in the metro area. He can finish everything else and then have me come back when they are in and swap them for the damaged ones. I think we can all agree that that is acceptable, right?
So I go about my day. Later on, I get a follow-up call. He tells me that after he got off the phone with me that he miraculously found some of the inserts. He had them delivered, and decided to try to put them in as fast as possible. In the process he fucked up the clearcoat. Now I won't get my car back until Tuesday.
*picks up shotgun*
You mean to tell me I am stuck driving this goddamn shitty fucking suck-ass Chrysler 200 until fucking Tuesday? MOTHERFUCKER. ALL you had to fucking do was wait a few hours and there would have been NO FUCKING PROBLEM. I had already told you I couldn't pick it up until tomorrow, so what was the damn rush?
I want to club him like a baby seal right now. Every minute I'm stuck driving this abomination I find something new to dislike about it. (For the record, this is the shitty old Chrysler 200, not the beautiful new one.)
Never again will I take my car to the shop my insurance recommends. It will go where *I* want it to go.

Don't kid yourself. A Corolla would be a massive improvement over this turd.

I'm assuming this is a previous-gen 200?

Yes.
You know, I can usually find some good in just about any car I've driven. Not this one. I want to set it on fire, piss on the ashes, bury the ashes, and then salt the earth so that nothing can grow there ever again.

It was the Chevy Cruz of Fiat-Chrysler. don't know much about the new gen but they are bigbigbiiig sellers around here right now.
Sorry about your day. Solution? Buy a '94 Corolla wagon. Won't be in the shop and won't be pretty enough to care about cosmetic damage.

That's the worst part, I couldn't care less about the minor damage that was done. The other driver's insurance is paying for it so that's the only reason why it's there. I've just had nothing but headaches since I started dealing with this stupid body shop.

Have you ever driven a prius? My dad and I rented one in miami a few years ago. I wanted to shove it into the ocean.

Fucking rental cars. Hopefully you get the Fiat back soon!
When my Subie was in the body shop my insurance gave me a car that was "comparable" to my wagon. It was a damn corolla. That's back when I needed a wagon for my job and the Corolla just didn't fit the bill for what I needed. Needless to say I was pissed and made sure to do as many burnouts in that damn car as I could before I returned it haha

A Prius would be a massive improvement. At least it has a purpose, and would get decent mpg.

I think I'm going to check with enterprise and see if I can exchange it. Literally any other car would be better, though with my luck the only other car they'd have is a Dodge Avenger.

That's what sucks so bad about so many shops, be it a body shop or even a tire place like Discount. They obviously try to maximize the amount of work done in a day (more productivity=more $$$$$) and as they rush through everything, they make mistakes.

At least this schmuck admitted to me that he screwed up. But from day one it's been aggravating. Excuses for calls not being returned, paperwork not getting faxed, etc.
