In the spirit of coming clean to prepare for New Years
resolutions......Last summer I had the hood up on the TR6, had to move
it up just a wee bit, started it up and drove forward to back up to
where I need to be.  Since the hood was still up the bad news is - I
drove it into my pickup (I hate it when I do something I can't blame on
my wife!)  The good news - that fender needed a repaint job anyway and
after the appropraite number of "right, I just don't pay enought
attention" the wife approved the $300 job at the body shop.

bye for now and off to the party
