At some point during the book doesn't she mention Harry's unknown hit and run driver being an unresolved plot thread?

I'll have to check it out.  I don't recall for sure.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

Shhhhhhhhh. You guys are ruining perfectly good speculation fodder by bringing up the actual events of the book and applying critical thinking.
Them darn facts keep getting in the way of fantasy. I hate them too.

(Tongue-in-cheek)

What are we?  Church goers who ignore the Good Book?

Nope ... but you might ask your pastor to check the boiler.  It might be a bit overworked.

I maybe misspoke. I don't mean that Harry's car doesn't have damage. I think Harry caused what damage there was himself trying to save himself from a car that only he could see.

We still have the cop on the scene commenting on intentional damage:
Quote
Grayson came ambling over to us. "Wrecker's on the way," he said. "What do we got here?"
"Hit and run," Murphy said.
Grayson lifted his eyebrows and eyed me. "Yeah? Looked to me like you got hit a couple of times. On purpose-like."
Unless Lash somehow caused Harry to damage the car in such a way that it looks like another car was involved.

Of course not.  It's just that since we know Lash can make a fake person look real to Harry, and as we see with Hannah, can alter what people hear, we then get to ignore literally anything at all that we don't like, under the umbrella of "Lash made Harry think something else."

Found it Rasins. It is actually Eb who mentions it as an unresolved thread at the end of the book when Harry goes over the events with him.

Quote
He grunted in the affirmative. "Don't forget the other loose end."

I frowned and thought back over it. "Huh," I said. "You're right. Who was driving that car that ran into me?"

"Exactly," he said.

Some of us remain unconvinced she is not still doing this up to the present time of the books, fwiw.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

While that is possible; it could also be possible that Lash has assumed a different role in the universe.

Maybe Lash will appear as the "good" angel that sits on Harry's shoulder and dispenses words of wisdom.
