Push guard.

I guess it's just something I haven't got used to. It would also be illegal here.

Then how do you push the polar bears out of the way during their migration? It's not wise to get out of the car and yell at them, right? Supposin he takes a shine to ya? When a polar bear starts to hump your leg, you're best to let him Finish up, right?

Glad to see the car fixed and shiny. Sorry, but this story reminded me of this:

So are you taking it back later or what? As you know already, there's some serious misalignment going on with that hood, and if you don't care, the body shop sure as hell isn't going to care. The fender-door-bumper alignment all looks fit and flush, but that hood gap is tremendous.
Still, it's always nice to see a car fixed, isn't it? :)

its def automatic but you can "shift" it by going sideways. i don't get it...makes no sense to me cuz you don't have a clutch..that you press anyway, but hey! its not my car...i don't drive it that way

...so why is that 5 speed automatic being called a "CVT shifter"?

Me Know Unnerstan - that trans is a planetary geared automatic, not a Continuously Variable Transmission. Either can have driver-selected ratio changes, although in the case of a CVT, slapping the shifter doesn't select a specific gearset - it just moves the belt to a specific place on it's spectrum of continuity.
