I bumped into a pole shortly after I got the little Pontiac. It was an expensive bump, though. The estimate I got was for $750. So we went to a salvage yard in Phoenix, bought the part, paid a little more than $100 to have it painted by some students at the local college, and it was fixed for a grand total of $300.
Well then someone bumped into my car this week. And now I have to slide into the driver's side with the door only open about 6 inches, because this particular "bump" pushed the front fender into the door. And I am still waiting for the insurance company to give me the go ahead to have it fixed.
My car would like a break from all this.
