Update on the car situation
Turns out the way you get a car with no wheels on a tow truck is to find and install two wheels. Naturally, Saturns have wonky specialized wheels. Even more naturally, none of the dealerships in DFW have any of the sort that go on my 2005 Saturn Ion 3, and thus they have to get them from Tennessee and they'll be here Monday.
My insurance pays for a rental car, luckily. So this afternoon![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bitpig is going to come pick me up and drive me there.* Then on Monday I go get the wheels, call my insurance agent back, and she'll arrange the tow. Which then has to go to one of their direct repair program shops, so it'll get towed to this place in Arlington to check to see if any damage has been done to car other than the tires removed.
GAH. At least with the rental car I can go to work on Saturday, when I was scheduled to go, so I can take Monday off in exchange and not take *another* day off my little remaining vacation hours.
ANd, man, once I get a rental car I am going to drive to a BOOKSTORE for a little retail therapy.
ETA: And so far every single person I've talked to on the phone has shared my WTF?! at WHO THE HELL STEALS WHEELS OFF A SATURN?? Mom points out it was obviously a custom job, for someone who wanted Saturn wheels. What the hell? (When I was in college, I had an $8 plastic hubcap stolen from my CRX. So people only steal WEIRD CHEAP things off me.)
* Enterprise will come pick you up, but I'd arranged the ride by the time I found that out and frankly, I desperately need to whine to a friend in person right now so I am thus obligingbitpig to come pick me up anyway. SO THERE!
