Oh my gosh my car - again

Well, I called the idiot who struck my car last week to let her know I got a 2nd estimate from D&C Honda and it's $14 more than the 1st estimate, so she suggested I go to a friend of hers in Closter who fixes cars and does really good work and is less expensive. Well, I lost it on her. I told her I have left work early and arrived late getting the two estimates I already have, because of what her irresponsibility did to my car and now she wants me to go another place, a friend of hers no less. I told her I have already been inconvenienced enough and will have to borrow a car from my mom when my car is being fixed so my mom will also be inconvenienced. I said a lot of things to her and told her that if I had my way she'd be in jail for drunk driving. I was so angry and frustrated I hung up on her. Very frustrating. Also, I'm afraid that if she does say she's going to pay for it instead of insurance that when it comes time to pay she won't have the $ and they won't release the car until payment is made in full - cash or certified check, no credit cards. I have visions of my car being done and this girl not having the money. I tried being nice, but now I'm very frustrated and annoyed. I also picked up the accient report from the police and she was charged with not reporting an accident and leaving the scene of an accident. They couldn't get her for drunk driving because she was already inside her house when they got there.

Anne-
You have been more than patient with this girl. I didn't realize she was drunk? My god she is lucky.
I am sure that once it's in the shop to be fixed she will pay

I would never do it just between the two of you. I would either do it through insurance, or get a quote and have her pay it in full before you leave the car. I could just see it being complete and her sticking you with it. Sorry - I'm cynical.
