Just got a quote for car repairs- $2138.40- more than $500 more than the guestimate.

Maybe consider "living with" the damage

Not too bad between yesterday and today. Got lots of decluttering etc done in view of getting this house on the market by the end of the month. Exciting times ahead house hunting.

No choice in our lives, The wife has to have French blood in her ancestory somewhere, She just has to touch park and try tight spaces on either side of a car. I've yet to own a car in my 35 years plus with her that she hasn't scrapped or dented within 4-5 months of owning it. Thats including two brand new ones in that time. Hence now I just drive old bombs and keep erm maintained.... Absoultely no point in worrying about the appearance or lack of in cars in our lives.

Both the Ford and Barina I own would have at least 10 dents each on them.

In all those years, she has never been pulled up or caught by the other driver either.

I cannot believe how blase she is about cars, she's pretty fussy about everything else. F knows how we'll go when we get a motor home... never mind I'm used to it now.

Same here. On the plus side, if on returning to my parked car I discover that someone has bashed it while opening their doors or scuffed one or more of the bumpers I just shrug and carry on. But if it was a smart newish car I'd feel gutted. Someone pinched two of one of the car's hub caps the other day (the bastards! - maybe it the summer nats ), leaving the car looking naked on the one side. Well there are some standards that one simply must maintain so I ordered 4 new ones on ebay for $36 including postage. Admittedly, it was a bit of an extravagance to replace them

How very topical... yesterday I nearly shuffled off this mortal coil... stood 2 meters away passenger side of my car in the car park, rifling through handbag to find lost keys when little old bloke slams foot on accelerator IN REVERSE half way across the park (from his disabled space) ...makes up enough speed to make the car that was parked next to mine slam SIDEWAYS into My drivers side... and end up just 1 meter away from me... impressive seeing as my car was slammed sideways UP a kerb and onto the path I'm standing on....

If I hadn't 'lost' my keys in my handbag and been hunting for them I would have been next to my car on the drivers side and taken the full impact ...

and probably be dead.



Poor little Getz, that's its SECOND vicious, nasty, unprovoked attack in the last 4 months...
