The World of Little Little Bird

I took my car to two garages today, one Iranian and one Vietnamese. To fix the headlight only, it is $250 from the Iranian garage, and $270 from the Vietnamese, both are all cash prices. If I also want the body work, i.e. to replace the left fender as well, the prices are $500 and $450. I ended up putting $100 deposit at the Vietnamese shop and having them order the parts. I'll go back tomorrow to get them assembled. Another bad news is that the fucking Hertz noticed the scratches when my friend returned the car today. Shit! Though my friend's credit card company can cover all the repair expense, I should still pay the loss of use fee and admin fee to Hertz, which may be another $150 to $200. 破财挡灾, 破财挡灾. I'm very guilty for all the troubles that I have brought to him.
I should learn a big lesson from this accident. I was too confident about my driving skills, and boasted it often. Caution is very important. I have to 夹起尾巴做人.
Looks like I need to 堤内损失堤外补. Wish my stocks go up. :P
