(And they didn't -- I blame you for that)

Granted. You grow Rosemary's baby.

I wish I had found the parts I needed to help my friend fix his Mitsubishi. He rear-ended a Ford Escape and, since it's a little car and an SUV, the front end of his car pretty much went under the rear bumper. The Ford suffered a minor scratch on the underside of the bumper and had the tailpipe bent like two inches to the right; his Eclipse had the bumper cover shredded, the core support smashed in pretty badly, and his hood crinkled up like a ball of aluminum foil. He wants to fix it enough to sell it; the most important parts we need are a hood, bumper cover, and hood hinges. We went to the two junkyards in town that have the best selections and best prices and between the two of them, they only had five Eclipses that were the right body style and four out of five had been in severe front-end collisions. The fifth already had its hood and bumper cover scavenged. Plus we got rained on. Badly. It was a frustrating day.
