body work...
Well I think I broke a record... The least amount of time you've had a car before you wreck it... luckilly it was just minor body damage
But Does any one know any good body shops in the charlottesville area, or like 30 to 40 miles out?

I had it for about a week and a half... But I didn't get hit or back into someone... A guys swerved right in front of me and slowed down a lot.. when I slammed on the breaks I jerked the wheel a little sending the rear end out and I couldn't get it back, goign straight, before I went flying over a ditch... It was pretty Dukes of Hazard-ish... kinda funny now that I look back on it... luckilly I have the money to get it fixed pretty soon.
the damage done isn't too bad....
The front bumbper is cracked a little and about a 5 inch radius if paint chipped off the bottom right and an inch chiped off mid left... The right fender is all messed up... the part that connacts to the side skirt is out of allignment and it's crimped half way to the front of the car bacause of it... also the splash gaurd on the same side broke in half and fell off and also the left fender is slightly unalligned near where it meets the side skirt... the right exaught pipe is a little loose... maybe one of the straps broke... (not too bad... I should be able to get under there and tighten/ raplace it) The windshield is also cracked... at the bottom... I guess impact...
Thank god the fiber glass hood didn't break... it actually opens easier now Ofcoarse I did look under the hood at night, so it might be splintered some where... The engines seems to be ok (from what I could tell with a flash light)... it also starts easier too...
Based on my description does any one have an estimate about how much it might cost? even Ball Parking it?
