The on campus sheriff filed a report. I don't think it will go to
traffic as it was private property with no injuries.

Definitely a classic high school parking lot idiot move. The kid is
beyond lucky that there weren't people standing where my son's car was.
The blind spot behind this
monstrosity of a vehicle is huge. You *have* to use the step up to get
in the cab, it's so lifted.

Yeah, she better be agreeable to a local shop doing the work. Traveling
40 minutes for *her* benefit doesn't suit my needs....unless she makes
it worth my while.

Ahhh, the rental car. Jarrett's only 16 so he doesn't qualify. I don't
want him driving my Lexus and my husband isn't crazy about giving him
use of his year old Grand Prix either. Perhaps a fee for my trouble of
shuttling him to and fro? We're working on this part of the equation,
because it's a huge aspect of this accident. My son works in addition to
school, so he needs transportation. I really don't look forward to
having to pick him up at 10:00. BTDT.

Thanks for the info, guys. This is a really cool ng.
