I hurt the car
In one of my more glorious moments I managed to scratch/dent the front bumper on the driver’s side yesterday afternoon as I was backing up. I am not very impressed with myself. Especially, since it was very stupid and totally avoidable. I’m hoping it’s just the bumper and there’s no other damage. (The odds are not too bad that that’s all.)
I don’t know yet how much it’ll be to fix it, but I do know that it’s a needless way to spend money. If I am lucky, it’ll be less than $1,000, but you never know. Car repairs get expensive quickly.
Gotta take the car to a few body shops to have the damage checked out. They have to see it in order to be able to provide a quote. It’s a big pain in the rear, but it makes sense, I guess.
The other big pain in the rear is that I have to take time off work. None of the body shops seem to be open Saturdays. Hopefully these memories of hassles and wasted money serve me well and cause me to be more careful in the future.
