I'm sorry to see that. I'm still getting over being rear-ended by a moving truck back in May. Cost over $8K to repair my car. I really hope they get yours fixed soon! That's the thing I hate about parking lots - no matter how far/how obscure your parking is, some idiot still wants to park right near you anyway.
No shit. I wish I had enough money to hire a live midget to live out of my trunk. This way whenever I park anywhere he can get out and just growl and threaten anything that gets near my baby. I'd feed him, of course.

I especially feel your pain. The doors come in three parts. To my untrained eye it looks like you'll need a rear door outer skin and the front door may need a skin or it may be possible to reshape it. A little primer and paint and you should be good to go. Insist on OEM parts. They're not that expensive.
My $14,000 high speed double hit was repaired beautifully. I needed a front door skin, front fender, rear bumper, rear suspension and repairs to scratches on the rear door, front bumper and mirror. With a good body shop doing the work, your baby will be as perfect as mine is.

Sorry to hear the news but is it me or when you have a car repaired, it just does not seem quite as special as before it was bent!!!
