Angry OMG body damage already?!

So The wind is up to damn near 50mph today and a i come out side to see that i got a nice fat dent in the rear passenger corner of my baby! right where the fender flares out over the tire. I cannot explain how pissed i am right now. i'm ready to park her and never drive again. I supposed theres really no need to turn it in to insurance that we all pay sooo much for for them to tell me they can fix it for 1k but must pay 500$ deductible first. lots of those paintless dent removal people around my way not sure what they charge but is it really worth it. it seems to me the way the flare is made it will never be smooth again. I need some help someone i can go on like this. if i cant fix my streak of bad luck that i have had for a week with my car i'm gonna have to put a for sale tag in the window. i can't deal with the stress no more i rather go thru a ugly divorce. prolly hurts the same.

Paintless dent removal costs about $80-$150 an hour. Expect a big dent to take about 4 hours or so. If there's any sort of crumple or crease in the dent, it won't work. Usually this is still cheaper than getting it repainted, though.

3 door dings = about $100 where I live It would be well worth it to let someone have a look at it...especially in an area that will have o be blended a lot to get it to match

Fenders cost like 250 to get replaced.
