I Wanna Feel the Car Crash

Okay, maybe that's a touch extreme.  But I did manage to do this today:

No other cars were damaged and no one was injured.  If you find yourself wondering how that happens, here's how:  you mistakenly wear your sunglasses into the gym and accidentally leave them on top of a weight machine.  When you're almost all the way home, you realize you don't have your sunglasses and turn around to go retrieve them.  When you get the gym, the parking lot will be a disaster, as usual, so you park in the awful underground lot with 5 spaces (seriously- there are really only 5 spaces in this lot.  I wish I was joking).  To get to the lot, you'll tell your car to suck it in as you drive down the driveway to the spots and curse the Altima that is in a bad illegal parking job on one side of the driveway (along with two other cars doing the same thing, although they are as far over to the side as possible).  Then you get your sunglasses without any problem, return to your car, and then do a million-point turn to try and back out of your spot (the 5 spaces don't have ample room to easily back out of them) and the realize that getting out of the driveway is going to be trickier than getting in was, all due to the Altima.  Proceeding slowly and cautiously, you inch down the driveway, keeping an eye on the Altima to your left.  And then you hear a thunk and crunch and scrape as your right side view mirror hits a cement pole barricade thing that guards nothing (okay really it guards the empty rear side of the emergency staircase) and then the passenger doors on the right side get scraped.  So then you put the car in reverse to prevent further damage, hop out to see if anything really happened, and then the furious anger sets in. 

And that's how you scrape up the side of your car.  Anyone have any recs for companies that do good body work here?  We're taking any and all referrals.  Luckily, L is not mad.  He can't be.  He did the same thing- except worse- in the first 2 weeks of our relationship.  He was very excited to come over to my house after SRGR's 26th birthday and decided he didn't want to wait on my very slow gate to close and reopen, so he tried to follow someone else in.  Note to all in Austin: the gates at The Estates on Quarry Lake do NOT rebound or have motion sensors.  And a note for everyone in general: cement pillars will damage your car.  They aren't kidding around with those things. 

All I can say is thank goodness for insurance and thank goodness for savings accounts.
