LOL wtf Craig you are nuts! Haha. Sorry to hear about your damages but like everyone else is saying it's a simple fix. Be happy it doesn't need any dent repair.

I got a few more for you:

feel sorry for u craig but it's ok. A few hundred dollars will make it look new and unnoticable. Or maybe better, some people can touch it up and make it look unnoticable to the naked eye. My friend has his own touch up service for dealerships and takes care of all rock chips and scratches. Maybe someone in Tampa can do that too?

Stay calm and visit either a smart repair guy or a body shop, mistakes happen dont beat yourself up. There are worse things that can happen in life, hope you get it fixed soon.

Craig:

This is a tempest in a teapot.

Those scratches are easily fixable. It will probably be mucher cheaper for you in the long run to pay for the fix out of your own pocket and not made an insurance claim.

When I have your age, I once rubbed my Infiniti Q45 right up against a pillar in a parking garage. My damage was much worse than what you have and after the body shop got done with it, yuo would have never known that it happened.

Everything will be fine.

i wont be putting it through insurance. if it is a 300-400 bucks like some have said it may be, that is an easy out of pocket. if i stay in the rest of this weekend, it doesnt even affect my budget. i already stayed in last night. I am heading up to that car meet at 9, i am taking it up there with the scratch. maybe i will meet someone who has a shop.

thanks again for your wisdom everyone. i have been in tampa 6-7 months and havent met a lot of people. i have made a few guy friends, but nobody that i feel comfortable enough to call and be a big whiny bitch about a scratch to. and i dont have any close women friends who could pretend to care. well, i do, but they are just trying to get me to date them. i cant let them see me vulnerable .so you guys were my support channel tonight

thanks for the virtual shoulders

i overreact. thats what i do . no i am not married. i would imagine i would have a very hard time letting my girlfriend or wife drive it. i let a friend drive it one night because i was drunk. it was that or leave it in front of the bar.

No prob.

Even if it turns out to be more like $700-$900, I would not put it through insurance as you'll be f*cked on future premium increases.
