    Ulnar nerve pain reduction/correction?

    I had a similar experience some years ago. I had tried various exercises and finally saw a physical therapist. She said she had good success with torsion bars for exercise. I bought one on Amazon for about $25 and after about two weeks the pain was gone. Very simple.

    Nissan Frontier

    I have a 2003 Frontier with 206k miles. Still runs good with minimal maintenance. I would definitely buy another one. I agree, they lag the others in styling.

    Fender bender with rental car

    Quick update. I received a request for damages from the third party representing the rental car company for about $1K which included about $150 for loss of use. The credit card company paid all of the damages except for the loss of use. I was satisfied with this and paid the loss of use myself.
