I'd hate a ding in the Box, but I'll bite my tongue if current wife gets one. I won't carry another regret to my grave.
Well said - they ARE just cars, albeit special ones IMHO! But when my son returned from the ATM with the damage I told him "don't sweat it, it's just a machine, we'll fix it." The next day he had to leave for school, a drive from Denver to the Naval Academy in a '98 Subaru, as you relate, it's all about perspective - thanks for sharing!
