The smashed up front left corner looks like new. The repair shop manager told me they had to order one of the track rod ends from Japan because no spare part manufacturer made that part. They told me the part would arrive only at the end of this month but they got it much earlier and the shop manager rang me today and told me the whole work was finished. Brilliant. We would've had to return the replacement car a week from now or pay for the rest of the time out our own pockets.
I parked the car in the garage. It's got a back up camera so backing it up from the garage all the way to the street is easy. The driveway is a bit narrow, not straight and long. It's been very cold. It was -20 C this morning. Now it's -10 C and snowing again. Keeping the car in the garage at +5 C saves labor and obviates the need to use the block heater. The block heater uses electricity and there is no timer in the outlet whereas the garage is warm all the time anyway.
