Shiny and New
A few weeks ago, I was at the dump, in line, waiting my turn to pay, when all of a sudden (isn’t that how these always start?), the dump truck in front of me starts backing up without warning. I couldn’t get out of the way fast enough, and the truck’s trailer hitch poked a hole in my front bumper. Maybe “poked” is too light a term for what happens when a loaded deuce and a half slams into a small sedan. Slammed, that’s more like it.
Dealing with State Farm, not too bad. Dealing with the Brown Brothers body shop, excellent. I had to go there for an estimate, but it was scheduled and quick. Professional at every turn. They even suggested that State Farm would pay for a rental, so I rode around in style for 2 days–Enterprise really does “pick you up.” My bumper is shiny and new.

So I always wondered, how does Enterprise pick you up when their cars come gift-wrapped? I mean, how can they see out the windows? I see them in the commercials, but I’m sure that’s on a closed course. In actuality, that’s got to be really dangerous… :) Glad you escaped the dump with just some bumper damage!
The ribbon overlaps right across the middle of the windows, so the drive can see around it. There’s obviously no paper–that’s just for the advertisement.
