My car
Isn't that the way that it always is. I think that my car has been feeling neglected lately because of all the work I've been doing on my house. About a week and a half ago, my muffler broke off of the rest of my car. I removed the rest of it so that it wasn't just hanging there and went out and bought a new one.
Before I could install the new muffler, I got in a little fender bender resulting in a bent fender. The driver's side door doesn't open very far anymore. The woman who hit me was very nice and wants to pay for the repair without involving the insurance company.
I have since then installed the muffler, which as always, took a little longer than I thought. It was also very difficult working under the car in the snow and cold. Hey, experiences are still experiences, and I can now say that I have successfully installed a muffler in the driveway during a cold and snowy Michigan winter.

Ahh, the joys. I backed into a man at the pet store last Monday and crunched his front fender a little. He was willing to accept some money and not involve insurance companies, so we dropped a check at his house Saturday. I feel like a bad woman driver :(
Mike was working on Doug's car a few weeks ago in the cold too. He was in a garage, but the door had to be open and he was out there all day.

A little, update.
I took the car to the body shop about an hour ago. I told the guy that I just wanted an estimate and he took a look at my car. He asked if I wanted the fender replaced, or if I wanted to just be able to open the door all the way. I said just fixed so the door works is fine. He says he will be right back and returns with a strange looking tool and in a matter of seconds my door works perfectly. I asked what I owed him and he said no charge. When I got home I touched up some scratches with some touch up paint.
Good as new. Well,not really. The dent is still there, but hardly noticable. I figure my car is worth so little that it probably doesn't really lower its value any.
In closing, I hope that my car has recieved the attention that it needed and will take it easy on me for a while now.

This story just keeps getting better. Yesterday afternoon I called the woman who hit me to tell her that she didn't have to worry anymore. She said thanks and we hung up. Later that night, she called to make sure that she had my address right and that she had left something for me in the mailbox. She had given me a $50 gift card for Shell station. Isn't that nice? How often do accident stories have happy endings?
