She already feels devastated and was almost positive it was going to result in us breaking up. I just told her she needs to have better spacial awareness at all times and things could have been a lot worse. It's cheap enough i won't make a claim with my insurance. She will have to figure out how to repair hers by herself. I'm not helping this time.

I'm honestly excited. I get a freshly painted bumper that already had a lot of rock chips on it.

That's not too bad, props toyou for being a good sport. Accidents happen and cars can be fixed/replaced.

When my gf (now wife) and I were dating two months in, I had just bought a house and was so used to parking in the middle of the garage, when we left I just backed out not thinking about the other car on my driveway. Needless to say my rear quarter panel kissed the front fender of her dad's car. Ended up being a claim and a rather interesting first in depth conversation with her dad.

Yea. It happens. What's done is done. She learned her lesson. I'm still going to take her to Disney in 20 days lol.

I just gagged a little lol. I pray that's the inflated insurance price and not the regular joe price hahaha.

It was at the dealer which is probably more expensive to begin with. It also looks like my scratches were more deep and numerous, not to mention pushed in, so it probably needed more prep work.

shop around... There are shade-tree guys who can do this on the side for a few hundred bucks. This is a good time to shave an emblem, also =)

I picked up a spare rear bumper for free on craigslist not long ago... I am going to attempt DIY shaving the emblem and respraying with automotive touchup and 2k clear spray cans. If it all fails ill probably just lose $100 and a weekend.
