So my Odyssey has been great the past 2 1/2 years but it sure has taken a beaten. It’s taken probably 6 or 7 trips to Maryland and 3 to Myrtle Beach as well as our daily commuting everywhere. It’s got some scratches and even some rust spots coming up.
One I particular remember making was when I was parked too closely to a car and the lady next to us had her door open a little bit and when I hit the automatic button for our side door to open, it scraped all the way down until it was completely open. I just looked at the woman and said, "I’m sorry, that was my fault." I threw the kids in the van and drove off. Her door wasn’t damaged since it had caught on the edge of her door and I’m the one with several scratches down the side of my van.
In any case, my van needs some love. Scott’s really big into tools but has never really been into body shop stuff so he doesn’t have many body shop supplies around. I’m thinking I need to splurge and see if we can get him some tools. That will make him WANT to use them and fix EVERY dent, scratch and rust spot he can find. Here’s to hoping.

I have to tell you I am married to a mechanic and I have a motor mount in one van that is in desparate need of repair and a muffler in the other van that is so ridiculously loud it’s not even funny…I pray your husband handles his body tools better 😉 Thanks for reading my blog, it’s good to know I am not alone! Thank you!!!! In Him, Tamara
