We continued on to the Camp Kinser impound lot where after signing a number of documents I was given back my car (again without so much as an "We're sorry.") to find it had a dead battery. A jump start later and I was ready to roll.
Almost.
The hood was damaged so I brought a ratcheting tie-down to secure it. Well, the kids were in the tie-downs so I went there with two ratchets and no tie-downs. fun. So, we drive slowly to the PX where I can pick up a bit of parachute cord and a knife so I can tie down my hood where upon I see (now in the clear of day without rain in my face) that I've got frame damage.
I tell ya, if this thing is totaled, I've already got my next car picked out.
The Daihatsu Midget.
I drove one of these years ago in a Gran Turismo game and (virtually) loved it.

Is that a door latch on the side, or a carrying handle? Kidding.
I like the little bed on the back, but the "open" headlights look like magnets for car doors and other stuff in parking lots.
