Some of it some-what true. EZ-8's girlfriend does want to see/live in Paris or London. I wouldn't mind Zurich (for i-banking).

Small conundrum-
My car suffered some minor damage this winter, leaving paint damage along the length of the passenger side of the car and dents on the door and quarter panel. There are a few options I can think of to resolve this-
1. Standard repair: door gets re-skinned, dents removed from quarter panel, passenger side of car gets repainted...car ultimately ends up at least two shades of suzuka. Should run about $3500.
2. Full repaint: same as above, except the entire car ends up the same shade of suzuka. Estimated cost between $5-6k.
3. Let it be: the damage is purely cosmetic, and while it bothers me, it's certainly not the end of the world.
I'll be paying for the repair out of pocket (and thusly can afford either repair) and have zero intention of selling it any time in the foreseeable future. Thoughts?

Passenger side? Just deal with it until you have some other repairs needed. Then do the repairs and a full repaint...

Option 2 if you were to show, otherwise, Option 1. It just needs to look nice, not nes plus ultra in my opinion.
