Ka-runch!
Been so busy catching up on posts to offer up my latest news.
Aside from the front diff problem (the Tranny shop has still not called me back with an estimate, after two weeks. Think they're afraid?) on "Patience", and the O2 Sensors needing to be replaced on the Evil Twin, my wife announced to me (quite offhandedly) Saturday night that the right front fender on "Patience" was "wrecked." Once she saw the veins pop out on my neck, my eyes bulge, my face turn a bright crimson, somehow, her next statement was rhetorical, "I thought you knew." I turned on our floodlights (it was dark) I ran to the front door, flung it open, and stomped to the car. I was greeted by a bumper that had been relieved of every bit of paint and primer (all the way to the black) on the right corner, a crushed right front side marker and a foot and a half crease down the right front fender, accented with red paint. After saying a few words over the fender (not prayers, mind you), I marched up on the front porch and paced back and forth like an idiot before unleashing my wrath upon the first thing I found (I punted a lawn chair from my porch across the front yard), then, promptly marched inside to ask what happened. "I don't know. I thought you did it." She said. "Well, (through clinched teeth) I obviously didn't, so we need to find out who did." At any rate, we deduced that it was the person for whom my daughter babysat, this past Friday, which was the ONLY place the car had been that day. I was surprised, because these folks weren't the kind of folks who would not 'fess up, to such a thing. Turned out that, upon backing out of the driveway to attend a friend's funeral (the reason my daughter was there to babysit in the first place), he clipped the car. Apparently he was so distrought, he didn't even realize he'd done it, and, upon returning home that afternoon (my daughter was already gone, and hadn't even noticed the damage -- since it was on the passenger's side), he noticed damage to his car and had suspected that someone had hit him at the funeral. Needless to say, after being approached about the possibility, the white paint on his car and the red paint on mine, pretty much cinched it (he was driving a red Chevy Cavalier). He apologized and gave me his insurance information. I've been in contact, with his insurance company. We'll go from there.

Oh that is sad but it's not that bad.
Try to be glad for it is just a tad. You can still drive it and not be mad. |

Thing is (just like when the LEFT fender was crunched, prior to the MWM), I'll have to look at it every day until it's fixed -- which drives me NUTS. Meanwhile, this is adding to the list of things that must be done before Reading: Body work done on "Patience" Diff work on "Patience" Tie Rod on ET Tail Pipe on ET (before tip drops off and goes careening down the highway)

I just got a call from the insurance company. I now have a case number. Things are rolling right along. Will have to call the adjuster in the morning. Their offices are closed now.

Seriously though, I am glad it's getting fixed and like you, it would drive me insane to look at it everyday until it was fixed. May you muster all the patience you can

Randy, I am proud of you. I was gritting my teeth when I read that you went back into the house. (oh no) I am glad that you can count to 10, and that it takes several minutes to do it. I am sorry to hear about you news.

"Patience" is a virtue
Which the proud owner can lay claim to.
Glad you sourced your culprit Randy. Trust you will get Patience sorted real soon. These things are sent to try us, and to see how strong our lawn chairs really are! Joe
