    It's motorized with a remote control. I would never do it if I had to pay for it, that's what Christmas is for.

    Yes, I already ordered the "black noise" touch up paint. I thought I was being smart, parking close to the curb to keep me as far away as possible from the next parking spot, but got too close. Never had too many vehicles with such low profile tires. Live and learn.

    I'll take a before and after pic, when I do the repair. Was too disgusted to do more than glance, and shut my eyes last night.

    I park close to the curbs as well. Usually my tires have enough of a bulge to keep the wheels from scraping.

    Fixed this cob the other day, I pulled the hose off the radiator, and found the nipple was chafed, so I put a thin layer of silicone on it and clamped the hose on. Now my car doesn't smell like a POS when I shut it down. Dealer was supposed to fix it, a second clamp was their fix. I did not want them molesting under the hood of the car too much anyways.

    That's pretty freaking sad! I can see doing a quick fix on the road to get where you need to go....WOW. These steelerships can not keep or get any kind of good help but do not mind charging $100.Plus dollars an hour labor to do that fine work? .. ?

    It should have got a new radiator but, who knows what else they would have screwed up in the process?
