Hahah. I missed the emoticon the first time. But I said about two sentences, and then proceeded to take pics for recordkeeping, and sawzalled off the hanging part of the bumper cover, drilled a hole, and ziptied it down so the rest wouldn't fall off. (It was badly creased from being bent much farther back than in the pic, so it'll need a whole new cover.)

So yeah, not much conversation. I don't have much of a temper, so fortunately these things don't lead to further problems. But few things push my buttons like carelessness with things.

As stated before Auto insurance.
I have been lucky to avoid a similar incident twice already with my wife... just by pure luck... When she is in a forgetful mood or just focuses on the back up cam... she will open the door get in the car then start it then push the garage door button on her remote and proceed to back out... I think you can picture the out come if I didn't stop the door from coming down or yell for her to stop!

I'm sure Anne felt terrible about the mishap. When I crunched the spoiler on the S, Rick just sat there and didn't say a word. They call them accidents for a reason. When I "off roaded" the S, he again didn't say a word, especially because right after we ended up in the ditch, I was telling him he should not have told me to that I wasn't going very fast, and to "pass that guy".

Now who wants to come for a ride with me in our S?

Just picked up the car from the shop today...

$3157, which included a new wheel. The car looks great, though. If it wasn't so clean on one side, I'd never know anything happened.

Now here's hoping the insurance rates don't go up...

That could work as long as he greets her with an umbrella when it rains, and scrapes off ice and brushes off snow.

You can tell you're not married, Kenta.
