about it. Nervous about how the paint is going to look.

Pearl again? Or you going to get a black roof?

Just pearl again. Had to file an insurance claim.

How on earth did you get insurance to pay for a repaint?

Can't tell from the picture. Must be in person and in the sun looking from many different angles.

Started it up again. Leak is fixed. Oil is topped up (it takes a crap ton of oil now). And it's too cold to get the oil temp gauge to move off of 50˚c. I do know that the gauge is seeing the sending unit, so that's a good sign.

I actually got stuck near an open top trailer load of wood chunks on a very windy day. Car was hit by several pieces going 75mph down the highway. It's not a full repaint. Front bumper replaced, hood stripped and redone, roof stripped and redone, and fender bleeding.

Tomorrow is pick up day.

Brutal. At least wasn't hail damage. They'll usually total cars for that.

Edit: Wait a sec, is YOUR insurance paying for the repair or the guy who had the trailer with the unsecured load?

Hit 20,000 miles on the way to work this morning!
