Car is back, repairs were done fine (including readjusting and repainting the exhaust tips that probably wasn't really part of the accident). Of course though, compound got slung on some of the quarter panels and they "washed it off and lightly buffed it with a clean microfiber towel". So I noticed a few hairline swirls, there are now a few scratches near the driver door handle where the grommets on someone's jeans or a piece of equipment or something probably hit it. It's little stuff really....but little stuff is what really bothers the everliving crap out of me. It's to be expected when you hand your car over to someone else I guess. I didn't even get a diffuser out of it 
On the bright side, at least I got to minister to the guy who rear-ended me while we waited on the state trooper to arrive. Hopefully someday I will see him in line at the pearly-gates and I can poke him in the ribs and say "I appreciated the scratches and dents, bro" :lol:
