Then wreck, cause property damage to other's property, don't have insurance or the money to cover the other person's property. It's done all the time.

That really sucks for the other person as he'll have to pay the deductable even though the accident wasn't his fault.

Doing it yourself would save you a bunch or money, simple hands tools and you'll be fine. If you get stuck on something look up some of the DIY treads, check YouTube or ask for help on the forum.
