cars are like women, only we can get more of almost everything out of our cars for less money.lol, man if that was me i would'nt even be kinda laughing, i would be pretty pi$$ed at that pole though.
on a side note: this would've been funny if it was videotaped, you see a car with no one inside just start and keep smashing into a pole, idk, maybe thats just my f'ed up out mind.

lol, atleast you guys got to make a payment before something happened. i was trying to find a parking spot in the post office(to make my first payment) and i backed into one of those yellow parking barriers. cracked a taillight,scratched the f%$k outta my back bumper, and dented the area around the tailight. i got out and saw a sh*&load of yellow paint all over the rear drivers side and i wish you guys coulda seen it. you woulda lost it. i was yelling and cussing,ppl looked at me like i was nuts.LOL (happened in june)

my insurance paid for everything like almost $3500 and they said that i have no fault since it's a hit and run. i took it to the mitsu collision center it stayed there for almost 4 weeks. they replaced everything.. to bumper, right headlight, right fender, hood and a nice new front end paint job. the thing is car is fully paid off and thinking of getting a ralliart or a used evo when it happened to my car.. yes you're right it is replaceable

ya, i'd go pull my estimate out from my dent last year, but its after 3am. i got 1100$ for a dent last year. note these are local costs to NE PA
they pay you like 400 for paint
labor@$42/hr. 10 hrs. $420
parts-whatever, 300+200+250
ya your looking at about 1500

heres what you do:
dont just let the insurance guy come and give you the estimate, THEY RIP YOU OFF, take it to a reputible body/collision shop in your area and have them draw up a simple estimate for you. then when/if the insurance guy comes to give you an estimate, you show him yours from a local collision shop. take it to an expensive shop that overdoes everything, get your money from the insurance agent and then get it fixed there or somewhere else for cheaper.

anyway, i think the pole lost overall, it's now bent-for-life with markings, your car will be fixed to new condition pretty quickly.lol

i recommend go to the local "Auto-fix collision" center.

These people are the best, They do body work on all kinds of show cars.

I got mine done at the "Auto fix collison" in Anaheim. They put the new Suspensions, Wheels, Hubcaps and Right side wheel bearings. Plus ran the dyno to make sure that there is no other demage.

This body shop also paints the cars for sow called "OVERHALI'N".

THEY ALSO ORDER ALL THE PARTS FROM THE DEALERSHIPS SO NO WORRY OF GETTING FAKE OR CHEAP PARTS.
Very nice shop........ AAAAAA +++++++++++++

By The Way, What Insurance Company Are You Going Thru?

Mine Was "aaa". They Never Looked At The Car, They Were Like Spend As Much As You Want, We Will Pay For It.

Adjustor Never Looked At The Demage To My Car, So That Was Pretty Good.
