Aside from some six inch long scratches in the corner, the bumper seems okay. No dents. It looked worse than it was at first because a lot of it was actually paint from the dumpster. It didn't help that both my car and the dumpster are colored green, just of different shades.
But, if it's not one thing, it's another. *sigh* I was about to go to my brother's house tonight, and my car wouldn't start properly. The engine cranked a little but couldn't get going. On my second attempt, the engine wouldn't crank at all. I went through all the checks. Lights were working. Transmission was on P. But no go. It looks like the battery's dead. I took it out to charge it overnight. The battery charger does indicate that the battery isn't fully charged, so I hope that's what it is. I did find out that some '98 Civics (including mine) has a recall on the starter switch. Well, I'll find out tomorrow if charging the battery works.
