I hurt MAXI
Tonight I was backing out of my garage and a friend of mine was too far to my side, which i did not see until i hear a rubber bump/pop sound.(awful noise) I pulled up and got out. I look at her car first, I hit her front panel above the tire and it mashed it in a little and scuffed a lot of her paint up... So scared to death I look at my car. No metal was damaged, it only touched my bumper. Luckily our bumpers are high up. It nicked the paint in a few small places easily to be touched up, and put a few white marks on it. I got all of the white marks off. I just need to get some touch up paint and I will be good to go. However she is not so fortunate. I hope I can get it fixed for under 300. It is not that bad. I got most of the marks off of her car. it is just the dent. Oh she has a 01 Accord EX. Im soo mad right now she only has 2500 mi on her. AHHHHHHH My friend was not even that mad, she was asking me why I was stessing over my car cause it is not even noticible to her.

300 bucks to fix a dent in a Japanese made car, good luck, I recommend start making a $hit load of lemonade and start selling first thing in the morning... Bravo to your cool headed friend.

It is a very small dent not very deep it is about as wide as my hand. I hope my father will fix it, he is good with cars. I will see what her dad says if not I will just file it on my insurance and pay 500. deductible.

why dont u get a quote of the damage first from a body shop. If you go through the insurance youll get a point on your record and ur insurance rate will go up. In the long run itll cost you more money than going to a local body shop. 
just my two cents

05MaXiMaMenG, is right on the money, at your age, driving a Max filing on your insurance may save you some money this month, next month you should receive flowers from the insurance company as a courtesy prior to F%$#ing you... Good Luck
I better quit while I am ahead. Go Liquid Silver!

She is going to take it to get an estimate tomorrow. But if it is too much I will tell her where to take it. Im not going to pay an arm and a leg for that.. Her car had a lot of dents and dings in it before me that she never worried about getting fixed before. I looked at it in the daylight and it was not that bad at all.

A dent is never a problem when your the owner and you caused the dent, however when someone else does it, it's a priority and must be fixed immediately, your fix can always help mask some of the previous dings.
