Bad, bad week for my baby.

The week started out with my secretary leaving her e brake off and her car rolling across the parking lot and hitting my rear bumper ($1200 damage).

The clear coat on one of my custom wheels started peeling a few months ago and it took 2 months to get a replacement. Well it took me 2 months to get around to swapping it out today. Turns out I bent my wheel in 3 places. I had to buy the new wheel ($800) instead of an even swap and it's $175 to fix the bent one tokeep as a spare.

Then on the way home a big rock hit my sunroof and takes a chunk of glass with it. So all in all I am having a great week. Hows your week been?

It can roll if the person has stick, and put it in neutral & forgot to e-brake.

Unless your secretary is drop dead hot, I'd probably fire her. You never know... she might forget to pay that important company bill or something.

Or find other ways to have her "pay" for the damage.
