More Car Stuff

Mr. B heard the update from the other lady's insurance company. They got the evidence of the new engine he had had put in, so they adjusted the car's value to $800 -- and then proceeded to deduct and deduct and deduct until they worked it down to $300. That would actually be okay, it pays for the tires he had to replace and hammering out the wheel well.

The problem now is that he may actually have to replace the vehicle. The dent over the back wheel affected the back window so it doesn't seal. We had some horrendous rain this weekend and now the car is soaked on the inside and it smells. The front windows don't open due to the age of the car. Right now Mr. B and his brother-in-law are wet-vac'ing the water out and they'll let it air out and try to duct tape the windows so they'll be waterproof (hopefully.) But if the car molds on the inside and stinks, he won't be able to drive it and will have to purchase a commuter car to go to work.
