Body Work

Happy Monday!!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from the auto body shop this morning which my car was towed to on Saturday. He wanted to get my information and would handle setting up the inspection with my insurance company while setting me up with a rental car. I needed to go down there to sign some papers to initiate the work to be done. My friend Rusty gave me a ride down there after stopping at Starbucks and having my first ever vanilla latte.

This place was jammed packed with wrecks. With all of the drivers in LA, I guess there comes more accidents. Or is it that LA drivers are just really bad! Just sayin'!

Enterprise rental car came and picked up me and Julie, another accident victim. What a nice girl! She's from Texas and lives in Santa Monica. She just got back from Martha's Vineyard last night after being there for a week.

We pulled into the empty Enterprise parking lot. "Where are all the cars?" Julie asked. The driver said, "we are in the process of finding more cars from other offices." Of course, if the auto body shop is packed, that must mean the rental car places are empty. I chimed in, "Are we going to have to wait long?" He responded, "It shouldn't be too long." (I know what that means..... Good thing my phone is charged up!)

About 30 minutes later, I got into a car. The Enterprise worker walked me to the car, got in to check the mileage and gas level. He turns to me, "Well, the car is on empty. Just make sure you return it on empty." I got in and then said to him, "Ummm, the check-engine light is on too." He said, "that is probably due to it not having any gas". I went and got gas but the check-engine light is still on.

I might as well get some body work done this week as well. Massage and a back wax!
