Update
Okay, my mom e-mailed back, which is good because our conversations are more well organized and logical compared to voiced conversations, which can tend to get carried away or go on a tangent.
She didn't address the action she was going to take, but said the issue at hand was more my responsibility with dealing with the issue and less with actually repairing the truck. I quote, "You have prioritized your
summer in a way that was meaningful only to you.... This isn't as much about
the truck as it is about you having accepted your responsibility for the
accident, which you did not."
Of course, we disagree on this, and me making my living this summer off of online poker and lawn mowing probably contributed to this one.
Since she made clear that it was HER truck and "loaning" it to me, I feel if it's even my responsibility at all, I should decide when I can fix the truck since the dent is only aesthetical.
Ah well. Thankfully she isn't pissed, so I haven't burned any bridges.
