This isn't a Sunday update but a Saturday outing worth documenting.
We went out for lunch at Me'N'Ed's, stopped for some produce and headed home. And this is what happened literally 4 metres from our parking spot.
Building manager in his big ol'truck reversed right into us. And not slowly either.
Glass everywhere. Driver's door concave and window glass shattered into a million pieces, like pellets that flew far enough to reach the passenger side. Wild.
An unforgettable birthday. No one was injured, except, well, the car.
The big-ass truck's back tail light had a triangle wedge of plastic knocked out. and the bumper was scraped?
Our whole driver's door is a write-off. Hoping there's a door that fits our beast in a wrecking yard or something, othewise . . . don't know right now.
Photos for posterity:
what's left of the side mirror 
a glass pellet floor mat 
the new concave door 
I'd say it's a pretty colour but . . . 
it went everywhere 
doesn't look like much but the door squawks when it swings into the frame, the window's gone, the lock knob is askew and the side mirror's backing is gone and is squished up against the door frame. And the panel over the wheel well looks wonked in. Wheeee.
