Crap that sucks! You live in AL, everyone over there are great drivers compared to where I am..

So far 2 minor dents and 1 scratch from a door on my right side of the car. I part far everywhere! Still those little things come up everynow and then. My left side of the car is spotless.. GL with your tc.

Well after checking the damage more closely, the frame is bent. there is a huge bulge in the trunk of where the frame bent. So it is starting to look really expensive...

well the body shops are open now so i guess i'll start checking around... still can't find the cord for the camera....

Not true. My last car was rear ended with a bent frame and was not totalled out. $6k in damages, but not totalled. And did not show up on Carfax either.

Ok i was wrong, I don't think that was the frame that was bent (man i should really learn more about cars) but what happened was his bumper went over my rear bumber and hit right at where the hatch locks into the floor on the left side. beneath the bumper is the medal peice that got bent inwards... but i guess that isn't the frame.

So its not really that bad, but still time waiting on parts =( ... oh well.

right now the estimate is @ $2,500 not too bad
