That's not so bad...... it'll polish out


Sorry Doc, couldn't resist it Had to say it to make you laugh and cheer you up. You'll have to do another day on private consulting to pay for it now.

sorry to hear DD. i backed into some dude last year in a parking lot @ night, tired after a long day's work bla bla bla. i feel your pain.

very expensive mistake, but the body shop did an absolutely brilliant job. your car will look like new again, but make sure you visit a high end professional.

painful lesson learned. glad no one was hurt apart the wallet.

Dammit! Sorry that this happened. I drive in and out of my tight garage everyday hoping and praying that I am paying enough attention not to clip the car. Luckily the tire/rim appear fine.

I'm sure it'll look good as new in the end.

Now for me to have a chat with the wife and see what can be done to get rid of that damn couch sitting in the garage. Wouldn't be so snug in the garage with that couch!

Anyone want a nice couch?
Good luck with the repair.
-Tony

Get that second opinion.. always smart, but I bet they would also recommend changing the panel.
