The journey always outweighs the destination.

UPDATE:



So i still dont have my car back as of 11/13/07. Why? because of an $8 part. Apparently, all new cars must be outfitted with tire pressure sensors as of 2010. Subaru has taken a bit of initiative with this and started doing it to all of their cars this model year.

Why is this significant? Well, the sensor is located in the tire stem, and must be replaced every time you get new wheels, which got replaced through the insurance company. Thing is, Michael Hohl didn't know that the tire stem must be replaced every time you get a new rim, and they wont let me drive without the new sensor. The old tire stems work just fine, but you cannot reuse the sensors.
