my poor car

[metaltweety]

My car showed up here a week ago, covered in dead gnats, with the tow hook attached to the front bumper, and the bumper displaced from where it is supposed to be by a bit under half an inch. The driver agreed that nothing about that was written down on the sheet he had, so he was okay with signing off on something having happened to the car during

So the bumper was pulled forward a bit in tow?

[metaltweety]

That's the weird part - it doesn't really look out of place, nor does the hood look out of place. However, they don't come together at the right point.

[machine_logic]

could one of them be warped ever-so-slightly, as to not have it look wrong, but have it close improperly?

[errhead]

does the car have tow points they just ignored?

[metaltweety]

No, but you'd think they'd want to return the car in the same condition they found it. Apparently the guy that hooked it up to the tow truck spent over an hour cataloging every scratch, chip, dents, and whatever on the car before taking it away, so leaving the tow hook in and having messed up the bumper somehow seems just wrong.

Then there's the whole part where the only reason the car had to be towed in the first place was they screwed up the scheduling (even though the date was set over a month in advance), so they had to move the car to somewhere they could access it on a Saturday.

Whatever. I have the car now, and they're paying to make it right again. And maybe getting rid of at least a couple of those scratches and chips while they're at it.

Dorks. Glad it still works, at least.
