A nice Strands to ease us into the first weekend of 2025, naming the various parts of a car that are excessively expensive to repair should you be unfortunate enough to have a bump.
I am fortunate in that most of my car accidents have involved inanimate objects that I have hit at about 3 miles per hour while reversing. Although I did also scrape the side of a police vehicle during a driving lesson. I’m a lot safer these days – unless you’re a bollard, post, or garden wall.
