Check engine light? Fixed! Got rear-ended right after...
Well, I wish I had a better update.
After being annoyed by the check engine light for a bit and being told by Jaguar San Diego NOT to come in (ahem), I decided to turn the car in.
Took them about 3 days to replace a catalytic converter (left one, I think), got the car back Friday, 8/11, drove it for a day aaaaaaaand...got smashed into by a Ukrainian guy in a Ford Taurus, who got rear-ended by an Arabic guy in a Camry. A very internaitonal accident. F Type's bumper got a few scratches, but doesn't look bad.
Hit my head on the headrest, went to the ER. Concussion, but not terrible, no CT scan needed.
So, after not driving my Shaguar for a bit, I am currently well, not driving it for some more.
So...how's everyone doing?

Diminished value virtually impossible to collect in California. I know all too well. Not worth the life distraction for as many as 5 years, or the tens of thousands in attorney fees just to get a date on the court docket.

Sounds like you got slammed pretty hard. Any damage at all the either quarter panel? I would be surprised if there is none.

Still, the cat being replaced at 11K miles is amazing to me...

The repair facility will prepare an estimate without the intervention of the insurance company, who's job, by both practice and title, is to adjust down the cost of repairs as much as they can get away with.
Walking into a repair center with an insurance adjusted estimate already in hand makes the repair centers job of restoring the car 100% to "Pre-loss condition" much more difficult.
