Unhappy 20 days in the shop

my baby will be in the shop for approx. 20 days to replace the hood, roof, rear deck and right front QP due to hail damage starting tomorrow morning. since my insurance covers only $25/day rental, i will most likely be driving a ford fiesta for the next 2 1/2 weeks . therefore, i will be living vicariously through all of my fellow tsxers.

My car was at Acura for a month because the headunit kept fucking up. When the got a new one, something would happen to it, so they would call and tell me its going to be a while. I didnt even know about the lemon law at the time.

You'll end up appreciating the TSX even more though, GL with the fix.

Goodluck man. I know how you feel. I also felt the same way about the navi. Acura has spoiled me.

Usually there are nicer cars close to the price range with just a few $'s more /day. If it's that important to you, you can just pay a few extra a day. Wont be that much.

20 days @ even a $5 increase (minimum is $7) is $100. on top of the deductible of $250, i don't think it's worth moving one level up.

I have gotten some cheap deals on car rentals from National (< $20 /day for full size cars) using the codes on there.
