Update on my car

Today has been quite an eventful but fruitless day... there was a sobbing breakdown for a good two minutes.
It started with my lady roommate showing me how to use her car (good).
Then things unfolded as such:
-Came back in house to see missed call on phone, called back and gave insurance claim guy info on where my car was. (mediocre)
-He transfered me to a lady to set up an appointment for them to look at the car. It is going to be Thursday. (BAD BAD BAD)
-Got off phone and called mom, she made me realize how unacceptable it was. (Definitely frustrated by this point and tired due to 4 hours max of sleep)
-Called insurance company to see what policy covers in terms of rental car and towing. They cover neither but say I'm fully covered. ("What the eff am I going to do" runs through my head)
-Talk to Dad about whole thing, he says it was police officer's negligence and that needs to be reported to insurance. Also need to get drunkie's info and badger insurance company to get this moving faster. (Now I have new people to call, again frustrated and overwhelmed.)
- Call police department, they can't do anything for me for at least 5 business days they say. (EFF!)
- Call Mom again and again go through discussion about how it's unacceptable on all parts. Get off phone to call insurance claim guy.
- Call insurance claim guy asking what's next and what can be done. Nothing. Not one effing thing until Thursday. If I have drunkie's info I can go through his policy to get a rental car he says but he is not authorized to get me one himself. He's sorry. I call bullshit it in my head. Then he says no matter what happens I still have to pay deductable. I ask how much... $500. Breaking point. I cry quietly until I get off the phone then I double over sobbing for a minute.
-Call mom again not able to fully pull myself together. We talk, she still feels it is unacceptable, OBVIOUSLY MY INSURANCE COMPANY SUCKS A FATTY.
-Talk to mister roommate and he says to go to police department requesting information and just bug them constantly. 
-take a nap so I don't go to police station crying.
-wake up, talk to mad momma bear, get ready.
-Get to police station, overhear a girl with almost the same exact problem as mine. Her car was hit at 12am and the driver was no where to be found. Awesome. From what I hear her tire is as eff as mine looked in the dark. Reps finally get me to pay for report which won't come to me for about 10 days (rad) and tell me to call my officer's secretary.
-Leave office, call secretary, leave message, drive to where my car is being kept. 
-No call when I get to lot. Tell guy at window I want to take pictures. Fill out form releasing insurance to look at car (when they get their lazy, c-sucking butts around to it) then get led to my car.
-Gasp inwardly, it looks even worse in the daylight:




Called police secretary again (no answer), called mom again and gave her all the policy numbers and phone numbers. Rad. Then went to Taco Bell for some food. Called secretary twice more once at home and still no answer. Guess who's getting calls tomorrow...

This is a nightmare. 

I just keep telling myself that it's okay, it's just a thing, this too shall pass, at least I or anybody else wasn't hurt. (Frankly I wish the guy who did it was. But that's mean I guess.) Thankfully I have amazing friends and family to help me out should I need it. I can't imagine not having people around to help if this happened. No rental car for a week? How does one get to work? Really. 

I am amazed at the crappy job done by several people involved.
