Now They Match

One of the less enjoyable aspects of my recent short stint as a Census worker was getting rear-ended and having to get the repairs done, collect from the other driver, filing paperwork since it was job-related, &c.

Fortunately, it wasn't hard to find a replacement bumper for the Sputnik, and we didn't much care that the gold bumper didn't match the dark-blue car.

Apparently we did care a little, since we bought a can of gold paint, and I masked off the new bumper and sprayed it down.

It came out fairly well, if I do say so myself.

Only problem is, it's obscurely embarrassing how it looks like a Subaru Outback. Not sure why we should care one way or the other, but there it is.
