[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

While I realize you are frustrated, ...I suppose my attitude is more towards 'whats the big deal'. It is only a car, ...not a living thing! From experience, I know it can be repaired!

Honestly, in my view holding animosity, frustration, or writing this to fault a neighbor is part of the problem with society today. This neighbor admitted he made a mistake, ...and honestly gave a reasonable explanation as to how his mistake occurred. We are ALL human and I am pretty we ALL make mistakes. If I were in your shoes (--which BTW I have been), I definitely would try to make it as pleasant of an experience for your neighbor as possible. I am not saying you need to absorb all responsibility but a positive & forgiving attitude throughout this entire incident will likely pay huge dividends to your health and to your neighbor's health. THAT in my opinion is what matters in this hobby!
