Looks like I'll be getting Gromit up to Niello's Collision Center in the next couple days.

Sorry for your boot. Maybe you can get an aero kit out of the deal!
Sorry but I thought that was a pretty controlled response given that Hamilton is an idiot for not seeing the light, like right there in front of him. Freakin rookie mistake! Not unlike the one last year that cost him the championship...

UPDATE:

Gromit is in the shop as of last night. The parts are already in.
They gave me a new (ish) Jetta as the rental. Decent car.

Delighted to see Gromit back as good as new. Here's hoping no inattentive twits ever follow you again.

I had one behind me the other evening. Was talking on the cell phone, sipping out of a water bottle, and following me way too closely, and stopped practically on my bumper at a couple of traffic lights, and even inched closer. There was a slowish car ahead of me to boot so I couldn't put any distance between me and said twit. So I pulled over to the side. Would rather have the idiot in front of me than behind me. I hadn't been that uncomfortable with a driver behind me in a long time.

Thank you.

What happened to you is when I wish I had a cell phone disruptor in my car. I have noticed that since the handset ban took effect in CA, I've only seen one person in two days with a cell phone to their ear.

One of the girls in our club has a sign she made "HANG UP AND DRIVE!" And it's in her car all the time.
