Muggsy Gets a Makeover

As I previously mentioned here on Paco Nation, I got rear-ended in traffic about a month ago. Ergo, my car, Muggsy, had to be repaired. Initially, the estimate was a little more than a $1,000 price tag for said repairs. But when the good folks at the body shop took off Muggsy's bumper, they found this:

. . . which pushed the repair to more than $2,800.

Fortunately, I had this sweet ride, a Mazda 3 (with Tennessee license plates!) from the rental place for eight days while Muggsy was in the shop:

It was a nice set of wheels. But I'm glad to have my car back now, good as new.

As for the whiplash, I'm still getting good chiropractic care. I think my neck is a keeper.
