Last Call- So That's How You Want To Play It, Eh? Edition

well played

They say that revenge is a dish best served cold. It’s very cold on a Honda CBR in winter. You know what else goes good with retribution? A full-bodied Cabernet and a nice side salad, that’s what.

    So my Phaeton hit a huge tumbleweed yesterday. Scratches on at least four body panels and knocked loose a rear view mirror. Any guesses on the repair bill?

      What a huge tumbleweed might look like.

        It was about 10-25% bigger, but turn it over 90 degrees.

      Your Phaeton hit a tumbleweed? It would be a different story if you hit a tumbleweed in your Phaeton, but a self-driving car–wow.
      Depends on which 4 panels, and whether they are all adjacent to each other. As a reference point, my newly-licensed niece slid her Honda Fit into another car on a wet road, sideswiping it. The mirror housing is hosed, and the whole passenger side of the car will need paint, but the doors still close properly and probably none of the sheet metal will need replacing. $2600.

      Wow. Tumbleweeds blow.

      Send photos to my Dad. Or is this a new Hooniverse game? Closest to the actual retail price gets to pay half of the bill.

      What's up with the tumbleweeds around here lately? I've been noticing more of them every year, and a notable increase on the East side of the Dumbarton…
      Serious guess: Using factory parts, about $1200 for the mirror, plus about $5000 in paint, assuming the panels are adjacent like OA5599 mentioned. So $7500-ish.
      If you don't already have someone in mind, I can recommend a couple places that do fantastic work…

      Sorry to hear that. The repairs of your Volkswagen are likely to cost about this much:

      This is a perfect opportunity to add fender mirrors and flags. It should cost less. You could hide the broken mirror and worst of the scratches with a snorkel while you are at it too. Also, very sorry to hear this.

    I bet there's room for a scooter in beside the driver's door too.
    Hell, I'd even be willing to chain my near-worthless bicycle to the roof rack.

    Judging by the rear window, the car belongs to a couple of kids. Maybe the bike belongs to their mom.

    Yes, because an ass who parks like that in an old Exploder would never consider the possibility of backing a "capable" 4×4 over a bike.

      I couldn't find the Smokey and the Bandit motorcycle dominoes scene on youtube, so this bit from Every Which Way But Loose will have to suffice.

    We had something like this happen here at work. There was construction so only one side of the main building had a bike rack and a lot of parking spots were gone for a while. Some people started parking their motorcycles in the now really crowed bike rack area! It was annoying since they took so much room. Isn't that funny!
