2026 white Model 3. Another driver opened his door into mine in a parking lot. Sentry caught the impact, his plate, and him inspecting/wiping his own door afterward, but he left no note.

Damage is small but went through the paint and is right on/near the body line. Photos attached.

I’m debating:

1. DIY primer/base/pearl/clear touch-up

2. paying a body/PDR shop privately

3. pursuing his insurance

Main concern with insurance/body work is potentially creating a vehicle-history/Carfax record over relatively minor cosmetic damage.

For anyone who has repaired something similar: what did you do, what did it cost, and how did it look afterward?

Particularly interested in anyone who has successfully DIY-repaired Pearl White (PPSW).

I had an idea for a game, but when I created it, it didn’t turn out as good as I had imagined. I wanted something unique and different from the other puzzle games I’ve played. However, this one ended up being just a different version of the pipe, water games, and similar ones. I still enjoyed playing it, but it seemed too easy, and I finished all the levels in just a few minutes. I’d like to get an outside opinion on whether it’s even worth building more levels. Right now, it’s only available on Android. I’ve never made a game before, but I’ve created apps. I don’t yet have the refined beauty or flair that I’ve seen in other games. Maybe I’ll get there eventually, but as a solo developer, I doubt I can compete with the gorgeous games that others are developing. However, I do enjoy creating things that are smarter, so I feel like my time playing games isn’t wasted. The game is called Bell Circuit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.proliferaite.bell_circuit

Description:

Me and my daughter played Two Player Games (the one-phone split screen one) for months. It's genuinely fun and I still open it sometimes. But at some point you notice every mode is the same thing wearing a different hat. Tap first. Reaction speed. That's the whole game.

Then I found the newer one, different company, with like hundreds of minigames in it. Animation is way better, really polished. I played four or five and had the same feeling inside ten minutes. A hundred versions of one game.

Which is fine. It's good distraction and it does what it's built to do. It just wasn't scratching the thing I wanted, which was sitting across from my kid and having it be an actual contest of who thinks faster.

So I made that one.

Same setup. Phone flat on the table, screen splits down the middle, each half faces a player. But the duels are riddles, mental math, memory, anagrams, number sequences, odd one out, movie quotes. First correct tap takes the point. You still have to be fast, you just have to be right.

No second phone, no accounts, no internet. There's also a running head to head record between the two of you, and a handicap option so a lopsided rivalry stays worth playing.

Video is me playing both sides against myself so ignore how that looks. It's the real split screen and real taps.

What I actually want to know: does the split screen make sense to someone seeing it cold, and do any of the duels look boring from the outside?

Free to Play Status:

[x] Free to play

[ ] Demo/Key available

Free download. Three duels are free forever. The other four unlock with either a short opt-in ad or a one time $4.99. No banners, no interstitials, because the screen is a shared board and an ad landing in front of whoever's mid-riddle would be miserable.

Involvement: Solo developer. I built the whole thing. Yes AI assisted but crafted carefully.
