Plus they know I’ve been a teacher at the local school practically forever, so I get preferential treatment, strange but true.

One time my ex daughter in law rear-ended someone in my Corolla. Radiator pushed back, hood with right-angle crease across the middle. A genius with a hammer at the local body shop hammered it back to usable the same day I brung it for $160. Teacher privilege. That was 10 years back, still drive it today.
