Default Slight problem...

So my girlfriend of a year and a half was just leaving my house... And backed in to my car... It just ruffed my back bumper up a good bit, but no other body damage. I would feel horrible if she had to pay to get my bumper re painted, but I don't no what else to do. Should I just let it go and fix it myself? That's what I'm leaning towards right now.

That's why you're gay.

Just pay to have it fixed yourself....It wont cost as much as a hooker.

Get some quotes on how much it will cost to fix out of pocket, and then see if your insurance will cover it. Chances are they will but you will have a deductible (for my dad its 250 for me its 500 cause im 18) and I would imagine the cheaper route will be better?

Im not sure if this is sound advice (sorry if it isnt) but its something to think about.

Good luck with the stang!

Seriously though, how bad is it? Did it take paint off?

It's not that bad. I'm gonna wash it today and see if any of it will buff out. It took paint off on part of it for sure but I'm hoping the rest will come out. I had been drinking last night when it happened so it looked alot worse than it actually is.
