Long story. Yes. Don't want to talk about it. My job now is to make this all work.

Nuff said 
Good luck with the repairs, hope to see her back to her former glory real soon.

You let me off easier than expected. :-)
I was in a rush last night, but I have more time this morning, and I think everyone can learn from my mistake.
I insured the car before I owned it so the test drive would be insured. I immediately bought the car and didn't change the insurance because it was going to spend a lot of time in the shop, and I knew I was more than covered for what I paid.
After I had put $12K into the car, and it was sorted out, I knew I had to get an agreed upon value policy. I planned on filling the bumper holes, getting it appraised, and getting the right insurance. HOWEVER, my business got really busy and I just didn't have the time or energy to get those stupid holes welded. It was a domino effect that kept me from getting the right insurance. 20/20 tells me I should have just found out if the insurance company even required an appraisal (I was operating on a friends recollection of him getting an agreed upon policy).
Now I feel like an idiot, and I don't look forward to dealing with the insurance company. I am afraid they will attach a low value to it, total it and give me a check for less than it is worth. The good news is I don't think I will lose money, but I could lose a car that I love, and that I feel is irreplaceable.
Soooooo, everyone go make sure your car is insured for its value. :-)
