Three cheers for Starshine Roshelle. Her column “Cars Are for Banging” came one day after my yearly destruction of my car’s front or back bumper. My car and I have never met a concrete pole we didn’t like. I mentioned to the nice man at Dino’s Body Shop, who recognized my name from my 2009 back-bumper replacement, that “At this rate we will be very good friends in about five years.”
He laughed until he choked. I guess I tapped into body-shop humor.—Wendy Allen
