If the car has that much value to you, why not take it to a local body-shop yourself. Tell them is a private repair and not an insurance claim. I bet you will get a much lower quote. It will probably be cheaper than buying a new car.

Good thinking.
Too late now.
It happened just after a brake job.
If the car has that much value to you, Well, the "value" is that the old bomb was paid for, and at 30 years old, had nice low insurance rates which offset its gas wasting behavior. Honestly, sending it to the yard for parts is probably going to help more people than I will be hurt.
I never really particularly liked that car; it was just a factor of convenience. It worked, and got me around town, and I honestly drive mostly on weekends anyway; seldom Monday-thru-Thursday
That's what I was getting at: I won't be able to find another old bomb that reliably makes short in-town trips; not at that price; not at what I'm going to get for it.
Subtract the deductible, and I'm going to get screwed.
I'll console myself: My carbon footprint will be reduced and I will reverse global warming.

So JetBrains just released new versions of lots of their products today, along with new licensing options[^].
If you have a current license with them, you can hop on the "All Products" license for pretty cheap ($249/$199* first year, $0 second year, $149 per year after), and you get a license to literally all of their products. Resharper Ultimate, IntelliJ, CLion, AppCode, Webstorm, everything.
Always wanted to tinker with CLion, and I might just have a reason to do so now. Might even try playing around with AppCode to do some iThing development. I know there's quite a few of you who use Resharper. Any of you guys using any of their other stuff? I already use Webstorm almost exclusively for all my js stuff.
* - Lower price if you have a Resharper or IntelliJ license.

A few months ago, we launched a web-based timeclock Azure application. The web app uses a timezone offset from UTC application setting to derive client local time display/events. Since the inception, I have been carefully planning on how to deal with DST and yesterday being the first time change, I set aside a couple of hours to make sure it worked.
The process was simple... change the web app config setting (for the timezone offset) to one less than the current setting. I tested it in development, works fine...tested on our demo/test server, works fine. So, all I needed to do on Azure was to modify the setting and restart the application...I did, and tested it and it looked fine. I was done, and felt pretty good about how smooth it went. 
Then, I get the email early this morning (the customer is a timezone ahead of us) that the timeclock was showing the wrong time!  But I could swear that it was right yesterday!  What was strange was that my cell phone and workstation times were different, and I just went with the cell phone time.
Now I have to wait until late this afternoon when everyone is logged out of the system to figure out exactly what is wrong. I have a feeling that the 'always on' feature has prevented the new setting from taking effect. It's going to be a fun afternoon!

Everything should be stored in UTC, and be converted to/from local time in javascript using the client's timezone.

It also depends upon where your client is - in America, for example, Arizona does not respect DST, so a client calling in from AZ Saturday, needs the same offset he/she needs today, but others around Arizona need the -1.

In this case, all offices are in the same time zone. One of the key specs for the project was that it had to be tamper-proof for the users, so no client settings are used whatsoever except to get a difference of timezone adjusted server time and local time, used to run a javascript clock.

I don't think you are an idiot, but I do think you are storing up trouble for the future. As Richard Deeming says above, you should get all timezone data from the client system.

Actually did read, sounds like a fun annoying case to track and fix. Looking forward to get the results on what caused the problem when you find it. ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

I finally got it working. It turns out there is a big difference between applicationSettings and appSettings in .NET! I was using the wrong one!  It only seemed to be working since I was replacing the dll every time previous to this. Ah well, I learned something!

Perhaps you should find a self-help grouper.
