My co-worker said I should call around to junk yards and just find a used hood and have it repainted. Being a Corolla, that might be a good idea. Grill ordered! Hopefully that will get here fast so it won't look quite so ghetto. The hood can wait--can't open it, but I just had the oil changed, filters, belt replaced, so it is good to go for awhile. I'll just have to sigh every time I look at it. I'll deal with it in April.
Thanks everyone for your commiseration and comments--seriously, I really do thank you. Sometimes, the responsibilities of responsibility eat me alive. The way we depend on cars in this city, it is a real pain to have something happen and I swear, we've had a string of bad luck over the last two years. Three major accidents and two fender benders! One of the major accidents was my fault, Tiff had the one fender bender (minor damage, no damage on hers--Saturns are tanks) and now Kelly the other. But I guess this is to be expected, given how much we drive. Sigh.
