Ouch that sucks! Could be a good excuse to upgrade the rear valence and your exhaust ;-)

The lady who hit my car said, "Please take it to a body shop that's not too expensive."

What-evahhhhh! Does this look like an econobox car?

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. And where does she get off telling you where to take your car?

Yeah, hope everything else is ok though. Just get it taken care of in an orderly fashion and everything will be back to normal in no time.

Sorry, man. At least you're OK. Your car can be fixed.

I'm so sorry to read this. Hope you are feeling ok after the accident. I know things like this suck but rest assured that it will be fixed to your satisfaction. Don't let her insurance company choose where you take it or the amount of allowable repairs. I'd push for a new rear bumper, no matter what they say. In fact, I did when my car was hit/run in a parking lot last winter.

I'd take it to the dealer. The car is pretty much new.. she'll have a heart attack once she sees the bill.
