For those that don't know I drove my car throw a ****** wire fence just for fun. The final estimate is $8,000. That's more than double the initial one. They're telling me 2 more weeks till it's done, but atleast they are removing the spoiler.

I was supposed to get mine back today, after the tree incident before new years. But we are coaxing our new baby out instead. I know, why am I on here, she is on the epidural and calling family.

No write up, but I knew they were going to replace the front bumper and hood at the very least. Neither of those were on the original estimate. They told me the tabs were ripped off on the rear bumper so they need to replace it as well, plus it had a small hole in it anyway. I think most of it is additional labor. when it's all said and done they will probably total it.
