When I had to replace my bumper cover I should have just done something like that. Damn thing cost $1100.

In response to your "Fiberglass/Drywall; what's the difference?"

Drywall screws are frequently used in woodworking projects - with their smaller and non-tapered shafts (than wood screws), it helps prevent splitting the wood (especially if you pre-drill the hole).

But funny picture

Okay. But it seems like now you need some explanation on the difference between fiberglass and wood.

And the difference between humor and serious inquiry.

I just meant it as a passing FYI on my part - I appreciated the silliness of the repair.

Well, unless it is a common occurrence he probably felt about as bad as I did the time at work I made a joke about the (unknown to me) recently deceased infant of a coworker.

I hate to put this in this thread since it was an accident, but A) no one was injured, and B) it is the prettiest accident scene ever!

You can read the story here if you like

I love how the article says no evidence that yellow ink was released when it's visible in the picture

The quote probably meant released into the storm drains but I also wonder how many look at that and wonder why the story doesn't mention the green ink.
