She probably won't go that dramatic, but there's no doubt she's already suffering a bunch of stress over this loss.
It would have been the right thing to do for a man of Zuckerman's means to get a hold of her and make up the damage by paying off her loan, then getting her a better replacement vehicle, sparing her the added burden of being left hanging with the balance owing on her car loan.
