Ninjamobile: Fully Armed and Operational!
Sep. 30th, 2009 07:47 pm...with a couple hitches.
I got my car back this morning! Everything was covered by insurance, including the use of the rental car for two weeks, and it looks as good as new. You can only tell where the work was done by touching the paint, because it feels smoother. They basically ended up repainting the entire back end of the car, in order to match the paint or something like that.
I got to enjoy having my car back for, oh, a few hours before I tried to go out to join some friends for dinner and it would not start.
Turns out the battery was bad. I'd had it checked like a month ago and it was fine, so I'm not sure if the auto shop guys ran it down somehow or what. It was the car's original battery, admittedly. So I got a jumpstart and went and got a new battery and everything seems okay now. But, geez.
