hey all. thanks for all the support. im still really pissed but not like i was. insurance should cover it, yea, i will be out of a car for a couple of weeks, and will have to fight with them to let me bring it to the shop of my choice, but i have won that battle before and it will get fixed. i would still love to find the butt munch that did this. it takes quite a hit to bend that metal.
