So I'm pretty mad at myself right now....tapped someones bumper pulling out of a parking lot yesterday It's been almost 20 years since my last accident
Making a right turn, I thought they were going to go, because they had a huge gap, they hesitated and didn't go, I was a little too quick to jump thinking I could get out too. My passenger side corner hit their drivers side corner. No damage that we could see to their 525i.
Went and got a quote over lunch. $650 + they will probably need to replace the headlight since it is scratched and a tab is broken on it, to the tune of $1100. I have a $500 deductible, so no sense paying out of pocket.
On the plus side, I scheduled the appointment for a week I'll be traveling. Drop the car off before I go, pick it up the next day. Still, logistics will suck since wifey will have to taxi me to the airport and I'll have to have my parents pick me up since nobody can drive a manual to get my car before I get back.

Just sayin $45 for this plastic emblem seemed a bit pricey, then add the $7 for the rattle can to make it black..

Just now picked up my car from the dealership after they replaced my clutch slave cylinder. I swear the clutch pedal feels much softer than it did before. I wonder if the failing CSC was creeping up on me in ways that I didn't recognize over time.

I'm still waiting on some equilibrium with the car, before I do anything new with it again.
It's almost June, and I'm still not quite there. I mean, I barely drove it in the Winter that Never Ended, and when I did, it was on snow tires in the freezing snow. The cats were new in mid-March, and the wheels went on in April. But I had frustrating issues with a TPMS, and wasn't at all happy with the fitment. So I ordered springs, which became a total clusterfck retail experience.
At this point, I did have some fun with the Meet-up in PA. No denying that.
After installing the springs, one of my tie-rods was failing, which made me cancel getting the car aligned, except that this repair schedule went on forever. Finally repaired, but still not aligned, the clutch slave cylinder blew out. That went in for repair, and I went on vacation. I'm back, but the front end still hasn't been aligned. The place I want to go to is on a schedule, and so is my life, so that won't happen for few days still.
/rant. Serenity Now.
It's a beautiful spring day, no denying that, too. Think I'll wash it.
