Clay waited a week after we knew State Farm had received our car title and all completed forms and documents and key. He was shuttled around making a number of phone calls before getting to the right team. There he was informed that everything was in order. What were they waiting for then? State Farm was waiting to send the check until someone complained and triggered a final act. So much for our being impressed by their good faith efforts. In any event, on Monday we received the check for the total loss of our Elantra. Fingers crossed that is the end of the wreck's aftermath. Bruises have faded away. I've finally driven the new Kia. It looks like we'll remain a one car family unless something changes.
