Both good cars... your Dad wants you to belong to a certain set, it seems. We passed on the G37 because it was too close a config to the TL my wife was happy with. Then ... it seemed that this is the moment in our lives we can have this car. (I compromised by getting the 7AT so my wife could drive it, and this has turned out to be not so bad as feared.)

Since the insurance adjuster has seen you're eager they will deliberately lowball and drag this out. Your best bet is investing a couple hundred $$s in having an attorney write them, basically your letter on his letterhead.

In my experience once an attorney gets involved the numbers automatically improve by about $5K just on the first pass. You *are* wearing a neck brace, aren't you? ;p
