Damage doesn't look that bad...

I backed into someone once and it cracked the little black plastic part that sort of houses the tips of the exhaust...Cost about 40 dollars to repair. Not sure if that part of your car got broken but if it did, it's a quick and cheap fix

Every body shop and me say I need a new bumper, bottom black part also. The bumper if you push is like paper. So it and the foam core behind it needs replacing.

The insurance company is trying to dick me saying that the value of my car isnt going to drop if I try to resell. Anyone know of where I can search for a claim adjuster 3rd party to give me a value on my car? Cause I know this ladies insurance company is going to try to pay me as little as they can.

Hope you're running around because it amuses you, and not because the insurance company told you to get a bunch of quotes for them.

If you want it repaired stock, pick the body shop that you want to do the work, and leave it to them and the insurance company.

Don't forget to make them give you a rental car while yours is laid up.

Red face

sounds crazy as hell but i've been hit two times at a red light had the bumper replaced one time and a small indent the second time and i really start to wonder if any of these fools can see me or not?since then i have added the rear fog lamp w/brake light and the fools seem to be getting even closer!!i even had to get out the car and ask the a- hole to back off!!it has to be the color of the car that turns invisible to the untrained eye of fools who do not pay attention.so to save face i stop(with safety in mind)a few yards short of the red light then move a foot or so every ten to twenty seconds untill the light changes and then haul *** away form the fool! i don't know why nor do i care but a safe distance from these guys saves me the time in the body shop and the time away from my baby.!

Well I picked the gray cause I wanted a car that wouldnt stand out. But I didnt know Lockheed Martin Skunk Works was part of Mazda paint engineering department. Can I get more of the stealth paint please?

I just got a good idea. I need to get lil sticker made of a outline of a SR71 for my little corner windows. New car name!
