It's also going to take over a month to be done, so I'll be Car-less for a couple weeks.

You should have gotten a rental car on the other guy's insurance from the first day it was in the shop. Why car-less? Now it might be some 3 year old rental grade econobox you don't want to drive, but you should still get a car.

I just now bought a dash cam because of you.

Apparently the frame is straight, but an edge was pressed in.

I have a rental car, but it's on my policy and Geico limits you to $1,500. This is a "no fault" accident. I will be car-less because I lost 2 weeks of rental time while the shop and adjuster tried to figure things out, repairs are estimated to take a 4-6 weeks. $1,500 doesn't get you a rental for 2 months.

Nice choice of budget dashcam, heard good things about it(I think I'd be getting those for my cheaper cars).

It really is good to have a dashcam. If I wasn't behind him, they could of easily denied fault and say he was speeding and ran the red light. Although, I never needed the video, I think it helped when my brother got out of the car and pointed at me as a witness.
