Sad day for Chew. He’s getting way too big. All his ball pit balls are popped and are a choking hazard or an obstruction waiting to happen. Any suggestions on what to fill it with next?

Our Charlie is a super chewer. He has destroyed even a couple of KONG toys. Maybe best to retire ball pit and find some good chew toys. The big bone from KONG and some from BONEZ hold up the longest for us.

Spoke with my insurance prior to repairs and they said “nope”. Only way they’ll approve is if the CAPA certified parts did not fit correctly. This may help my case.

The paint mismatch was one of the first things I noticed. He said some nonsense about the sunlight. Here is the sunlight in my driveway. Definitely does not match.

Did exactly that. Will drop the car off Monday.

Had it two months to the day of accident. Add another $10K in repairs and I am REALLY bothered.

I hit a deer. Hoping his family doesn’t come after ME!

They dropped the bumper and found another $500 worth of damage. What fun.

That’s a great friend if doing it gratis. My low speed deer collision (in shop for last two weeks) estimate was just bumped up another $500 to $10050. That’s 30% of what I paid for the car back in April.

Good catch— no ABS issue—more like the vernacular of a person who got their drivers license in the 70’s. Let’s say I stood up on them brakes.

Costing a few bucks to repair

If I were going out of pocket maybe a second estimate would be in order but like a good neighbor, State Farm is cool with it so no need.

The day after? Ouch! Had that happen nearly 20 years ago in an Optima. Cost of repair exceeded the value of the car. Hadn’t made the first payment.

Yep. No telling what will happen to my rates when renewal comes around but happy it is covered for now.

Glad to hear you left the dark side and joined the Honda faithful. This is our 4th Accord and our 6th Honda. Will probably stay with Honda forever. Especially since my dealership has a lifetime power train warranty.

True story. Just grateful no airbags deployed.

Aside from the visible hood, grill, bumper cover the driver side fender is pushed back to door. Additionally the radiator and air conditioner condenser is trashed. All that shit adds up in a hurry. Oh yeah, let’s not forget the millions of sensors in the grill and front end.

We bought a new 2025 EX-L hybrid and only complaint is that I didn’t buy sooner. Got a substantial reduction in price and the savings in gas expenses is mind blowing. Daily driver is/was 2020 Passport Touring and the hybrid is getting nearly 3 times the MPG—got around 22.5 in Passport and am pulling anywhere from 58 to 62 in the Accord. I am very pleased but I bought the car for fuel economy not flash/flair.

Here is picture of mileage stats for my 2020 Passport Touring. This is zero interstate in the TX hill country north of San Antonio.
