Well my license plate is a bit popped out at the top (on my car the plates are on the right front of the car and kinda stick out vs. most cars where they are in the middle in a divet). And some of my right front headlight plastic broke, so have to have that fixed, but it's minor and I'm the tape queen LOL. Have a back headlight taped cause the trunk is out of line or something and it leaks and so the back headlight frame isn't pushed in enough, i.e, there is a crack on the top of the light where water gets in when it rains and it shorts out the light. I'd have to get an entire back headlight panel to get this fixed btw, can't imagine how much that would cost. So I use that clear heavy duty tape you use for packaging (you are very familiar with that tape Amber from my previous packages heee LOL) and it works great, stops the leak! One of these days, when it's Spring or Summer, I'm gonna try some aquarium sealant I have and try to just seal the back light up myself, all I need is something to squeeze it on both sides to hold the glue until it dries, that is my dillema LOL.

Yeah what a difference it makes when you get a nice person's car to hit LOL. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Sheesh. Heck it WAS a tight spot and even after I hit his truck I tried to back up and still get in that space to park but no deal, too tight, and I couldn't back up because of the row of cars behind me in other parking spaces, really small shopping center. And that old lady! You know, if I had hit her car instead of this other guys? What a spectacle I bet it would have been. Police would be called, no doubt insurance company info would be swapped, so there would go my insurance rates up and up for years and years, for a 3 inch small scratch that was not deep. She'd probably insist on having her entire car repainted too. I mean this lady was sooo LOOKING for a scratch on her car, even though I was never near her car, I went too wide and hit the truck on my right, I was a good foot or more away from her car LOL. But boy she just would not stop looking and inspecting, when if she would just leave I could easily pull into her space cause here I am kinda trapped. Even when she saw nothing, and I had told her I did not hit her, she still doddered up to this guy standing in the parking lot to ask what he saw.

And I've seen this behavior before. Last year in traffic in front of me I saw one SUV lightly bump the other one in front of it. Well! The guy stopped traffic to get out, and inspect his bumper for like, 5 minutes! Finally he sees there is absolutely nothing he could sue for I reckon? and gets in his SUV and just moves on. Our beeping probably speeded him along re that LOL. Again, some people are just LOOKING for something. And then some take it in stride and take it as it is, something minor. I'd do the same thing if somebody hit and scratched my car. My car's old too, blah whatever LOL, not gonna stress over the small stuff. My car's taped up, got rust spots, lots of dings from people in parking lots who do not sit and wait for me to come out to offer to pay for the damage LOL.
