However, he/she probably isn't making much money during the winterOh ye of little cold weather exposure. Car washes in the Mid-Atlantic turn small fortunes during the winter, because the quasi-salt scattered on the road to melt snow and ice will also eat away at the finish of every vehicle crossing it -- and, given enough time, everything under the finish. Add that to residue buildup on the glass which must be scrubbed away before you're driving blind, and there are customers at all hours of the day. The self-service bays are 24-hour just to take advantage.
So he (and it's a he) has money. He can spend some on repairs. Or else.
I will not discuss the landing beyond 'nothing broken, everything bruised'.
