So I did and it looked as good as always. Wife had to run a quick erand and takes my car. I had just parked out in front of my house. People don’t park their cars on the street in my neighborhood so I always like being the only one and admiring it. I remeber listening to her turn the car on and driving off. Man it sounds good. Love those cold starts, just growls.
5 minutes later she calls me w the dreaded words “don’t get mad but.... you car...I......your car”. She can’t get it out. I’m like are you ok? She says she is. She finally tells me she clipped a curb and broke my bumper. She was expecting me to be so upset. But I wasn’t. I just wanted her to be ok. I told her to finish her errand and come home. She kept asking me why I wasn’t upset. I said it’s just a car. In my mind I’m thinking thank goodness it wasn’t my Z.
When she gets home I can hear my car coming down the street. I can hear her slow down more than usual as she pulls in and comes down the driveway. I didn’t even look at the car. I just hugged her and told her not to worry. At this point my kids are outside and about to take my temperature because they know how car crazy I am. I didn’t act like I’m supposed to. Or rather how I was expected to. And that was it.
So what did I do today not detailing related? I hugged my wife and don’t care that my car got a bloody lip. I’ll get it fixed. I really want a c63 or something ending w a 63 so maybe this is a sign . I also realized that maybe I take this car stuff too seriously.
Oh yeah, I called the Insurance company too. They’ll come have a look next week.

Hey, if a material object is more important than your wife, then you have a HUGE problem.
Good for you, Willie. You have to keep things in perspective.
Like you said, cars can be fixed. Having the wife be ok is the big picture.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

100% Paul. As long as I have my wife and kids and we are all healthy then everything else is just a bonus.

I went to the gym Tuesday and worked out for the first time in months. Wednesday night my groin muscle is killing me, unable to walk. Today, Friday, I’m walking kinda well.
Don’t over do it!

Scooped the stalls, filled some water buckets and took a few photos of Tjörn.
She’s Icelandic. They’re around 14 hands and have a mellow temperament.

Instead of getting caught up with the hype, I chose to roll with the underdog. The results were pretty good. There’s still room for improvement, but not bad for my 1st try. I’ll go after perfection the next time I polish it.
After:
Exceptional!
