I guess a Versa would've been better than this. :shock:

Not much but can you imagine if she puled up and said "Here's your rental car Mr NotBule2. o_O

He wants to import one of the Coupe versions

Lately I have been doing a ridiculous entry because I f***ed my left knee, so I step up first with my right leg, then my left, then carefully lower myself in. I must look like an old man.

Something with airbags in the running boards would have been helpful... or a parachute...

I can see the bed rail moulding being a problem. They're held on with clips and the plastic rails are prone to breaking but I'm sure they weren't all that careful and just "yanked" them off. The wheel moulding (from what I've seen here) look fairly easy to get off so yeah, that wold concern me about the rest of the job.

Remember these commercials? Your shop does. :oops:

The problem with modern tech. Undamaged plastic pieces that have to be removed to repair or replaced damaged sections are liable to break during removal at owners expense. :frown: In this case insurance. All part of the game.
