We got hit with a big snow storm here, and the snow plow company skipped out on us. Bastards.

There's about 8 inches of snow on the ground, and the clearance on my car is like 5", so do the math. I got stuck so bad, and because of the way the driveway is shaped, I started sliding to the left, and ended up perpendicular to the driveway.

So I went inside, and got like 8 guys out, and they pushed me out. However, they pushed on the passenger side fender a little too hard, and now it's dented in 3 different places.

I'm so pissed right now, but just at myself. I shouldn't have driven, but I had to go to the library on campus to study for a while, and I decided to drive; the main roads are fine, but I should've thought about the driveway situation. I don't hold any of them responsible for it, because they were just trying to help.

But this is probably going to cost another 250 bucks or so to fix and repaint. Man, next time I see the snow plow company guy here, I'm gonna give him an earful. They are so lazy, and never ever come. Unfortunately, the decision has to go through the nationals (fraternity house) in order to change companies, and of course, as any Greek member would know, the nationals suck. They can't make up an easy decision to save their lives.

Anyway, I just wanted to vent. I'm gonna go study for this impossible anthropology exam now.

Check the Yellow Pages for Paintless dent removal like Dent Doctor. They can remove the dent without having to paint.

I have three dents on top of my driver side fender...did it myself. Checking for a squeak and didn't realize I've dented it until I washed my car.

Shut up, Harsheel. Smart-ass.

The paint isn't chipped or cracked, but who knows? With my luck, it probably will once the dents are pulled out.

I honestly don't think I'll be driving the TL next winter. Then again, I'm graduating soon, so I don't know where I"m gonna end up living. Either way, I really don't want to drive it in the snow anymore.

Yep, they were just pushing with their hands. Weak.

Anyway, I talked to Ken at the shop today, and he said 250 bucks to fix and paint the fender, and paint the spoiler. So I'm gonna bump the spoiler up on my to-do list.
