I even got them to change my battery while it was apart since it was way more easy to access at that point, and I needed a new battery anyway.


Hopefully, when everything is reassembled and reconnected the top will work. That issue has not been vetted yet.


But so far I am pleased.
hapoy to hear !

So happy you're getting a new battery, and that the wreck isn't terminal for you!

I am charged with bad puns this week.

Good deal. Hopefully it's at least as good as it was before. One thing I learned with mine was to hit the hazard flashers when I need to hammer the brakes since I can out stop just about anything. I also watch the mirror to see if I need to dodge the guy behind.

I normally watch behind me too but was busy dodging the tire parts all over the road. I didn't lock them up or anything. I think he was probably not paying attention.

Today is really the day I get my car back. They finished it yesterday. I will be very happy to have it back again, though the Nissan Versa was a close substitute. Hah!

My son got married this weekend.


They asked to drive away from the reception in the XK. Which they did.

Just the bride and groom! They had limos for all the other rides.
