New tires. New dent.

Just got a call from a guy at the tire shop. I was hoping to hear that the new rear tires were on. Instead, it was a customer using their phone, telling me he backed into my car. So, I drove the boss's car down to get his insurance info, and check it out.

I told him he should've hit it harder.

At least the only spot that was showing a little rust is the panel he hit. Gonna throw in a respray on the rear surround and trunk, and see if it passes the insurance.

He was surprised how calm I was. Said he'd be pissed if someone backed into his car. I told him getting pissed isn't gonna change anything, and no one got hurt, so no biggie. Sh*t happens. It's how you handle it that makes the difference.
