Siriusly, check out podcasts and audio books (I use Audible) to get listening
content. I’ve been listening to books while I drive and work out at the gym and
sometimes doing work at the homestead. Great stuff, entertaining and educating.

Kaleb,
Don't be scared of the B pillar damage. The services of a competent body

and dusted.. then find a replacement door, paint to match.. adjust the rear
door so the car has proper fit and margins... you could be back in
I put only a few K miles on between changes. IIRC back in the day the
advise was to change filters every other oil change.
Is it necessary to change an oil filter by time rather than mileage?

You've got enough going on. Let the shop fix it properly, and let her insurance
pay for a rental while your car is being repaired. If they want to total it, in
my experience their offer will be more than fair. I'd take it and move on. It's
only a car.
