Got my baby back!
Everyone knows about my disaster in fixing the spot on my front bumper.
With all the repair work and then having to send it to the shop to get my repair work repaired, I haven't driven my baby for three weeks (except to the body shop).
Got it back today! Now my front bumper is immaculate! At least I was able to get all the tiny pecks and chips fixed at the same time. It's gorgeous! Best of all, I get to DRIVE it now!
I tell you, going without these things for a couple of weeks is like trying to quit smoking or drinking. You go into withdrawals. You sweat, you have anxiety attacks, nervous breakdowns! It's awful!

Glad you got her back and she is all fixed up. Hard to go Vette-less for that long.

Glad you survived! Amazing how being without something for a while gives you a whole new appreciation for it when you get it back...
