I voted for Australia only because there wasn't a;
"We wanted to make sure it was done to factory quality so we shipped your car back to Oshawa" choice. You sir have my utmost respect for being able to laugh at this and keep it light hearted. It would be a better world if more people could do this.

Well, those of you that picked:
"Our adjuster has to go back and authorize more money, and he's at the insurance convention in Rio." Were right. My claims agent is not in the office, and her helpful Team is now "on it"....uh, shouldn't they have been "on it" because that's Her Team? Am I thinking out of the box here?

Painting a big car with one of those little brushes takes a lot of time.

Hearing this makes me really glad I have deep ties in a local body shop that does amazing work.
Really sorry this is taking this long! It better be perfect once you get it back, though! |

We painted the panels 3 times and almost have a match. At least we don't have to use the jump box!

"Your car has a flat tire, so we haven't been able to move it into the shop yet. Don't worry, we ordered the genuine OEM patch kit from GM about 2 weeks ago."

Perhaps they do not have a strong enough crane to lift the car out of the vat of paint?
Hope they had the windows up...
