I’m still tripping on my good karma. Saturday, I was backing out of a parking spot in a parking garage. I wanted to turn right, so I looked back to my right cranked the wheel, forgetting about pole on the left. My son and I got out of the car and saw a pretty big dent in the corner of the plastic bumper.
Later that day I took it to a body shop, but I got there just as the owner was leaving. He looked at my car and said that they could heat it up and bump it out for about $100 or I could get a new bumper for about $450. My car doesn’t have any body or engine problems, but it does have 105K miles on it, so I said I’d bring it back Monday to get it bumped out. I went home and lifted the hood and looked underneath to see if I could bump it out myself, but it wasn’t possible, so I resigned myself to wait until Monday.
Sunday was a nice bright sunny day and when I went out to where I parked my car, the dent didn’t look half as bad. By noon, the bumper was pretty warm to the touch and completely back to its original shape!!! Good car-ma.
