Heartbroken Part 2

Last Tuesday Asri was on leave so we thought we'd just send the kids to school so we can enjoy couple time together. We had lunch at Parkway and thereafter to Raffles Place to pick up the calendula cream. I was not familiar with that area so I directed Asri to the OCBC carpark. Who knows that that would be a big disaster? The carpark was so narrow that we could barely make our way up as cars were coming down too. With each car either moving up or down, the other car in the opposite direction had to slow down or even stop to let that car pass. When we were rounding a corner, we heard a loud scrapping noise. The left rear door had knocked against a pillar and we could neither move forward nor reverse. Asri and I panicked. Then he moved the car slowly out of the fix but the damage was already done. Our left rear door was dented and scrapped badly, the rim of the tyre was also affected. Our hearts sank. He was in no mood to drive after that. We made some calls and went down to 2 workshops to get some quotations on how to fix the damage. Workshop 1 quoted us $550 to knock back the panel and it'l take 2 days. Workshop 2 gave us 2 options. Option 1: Change door - $350, spray paint - $320, labour - $80 so total $750. Option 2: Knock back the panel and spray paint $500. We decided on option 2 as it was an old car and we didn't want to spend so much. Touchwood, what if we were to knock it again? *sigh*, to upkeep a car is indeed costly as we've to budget for the unexpected. Well, this is indeed an expensive lesson!
