So, I wrote this post earlier this week (in case you missed it) about my own fuck-uppance of my car. I took it to a recommended collision center and they were very nice, didn't grunt or make fun of me (well, at least not to my face). They will need 4 or 5 days to work on it though, so I haven't dropped it off just yet. As you can see below, it doesn't look that bad, well unless you get up really close. They were nice enough to wire up my bumper in the meantime so it won't be all jangly-dangly.

Total cost to repair: $1,419
Yep, that's right - One thousand four hundred and nineteen junior bacon cheeseburgers, folks. But with my insurance, I'll just have to come up with 500 crispy chicken nuggets. I know that might seem like side salads or baked potatoes to some of you, but for me it'll be a stretch just to come up with that much. We'll get it figured out though.
Damn, I'm hungry...

Oh, you and your attention to details! That would be 500 5 piece chicken nuggets, if you wanna get technical. :)
It could always be worse. They could completely do away with that entire part of the menu.
Just be glad it wasn't another car hitting you (or vice versa) and doing 7000 junior bacon cheeseburgers worth of damage. That happened to us a few summers ago.
damage doesnt look bad at all. the most timely thing is going to be the paint, the most pain in the ass thing will be the light houseing. I have replaced three of them so far. Its to bad you dont know a "car" person you could just go to the junk yard get a new fender, with any luck the same color, or if need be paint it yourself. Then the rest is a case of beer and a full weekend of work.

Several years ago, J was driving my car and rear-ended a mini van at low speed (the air bags didn't even deploy). BUT - due to the "miraculous" technical innovation of front-end crumple zones, the damage repair bill came to nearly $4000. New hood, new quarter panels, new internal car organs...
Good thing my deductible at the time was $500...and that J paid it - because I sure as hell didn't have the money!
But hey, that's what insurance is for - and hopefully your premiums won't be increased by gazillions of dollars! I understand that kind of pain...
I feel bad about the accident, but what a funny post!!
I'm an accident prone gal myself, I totally know how krappy it is to get a mess up!
when that happened to my car I just left it. It aint worth that much cash in my book.
Cool guestbook, interesting information... Keep it UP
homeowners high risk insurance
