We finally go the car back after five and a half weeks - a week ago. I think I'd been handling it pretty well up to that point - I was driving again, not having too much as far as driving anxiety goes.
Hubs was very well meaning when he brought me in the bill for the repairs - which was all covered by insurance. As it turns out, if our new car had been two years older, the insurance company likely would have called it a total loss instead of fixing it.
