Fifteen Hundred

I brought the FR into the shop today for it's annual safety / emissions inspection. The car passed, no problem. In the process, however, they put about $1,500 of damage on the car. Here's the list:

  1. Snapped off the driver's mirror.
  2. Smashed the front driver's side fender.
  3. Damage to the driver's door.
  4. Damage to the front bumper.
To repair this they need to:
  1. Replace the front fender. Prime. Paint.
  2. Edge and blend out the driver's door.
  3. Repair and repaint the front bumper.
That doesn't even include putting on the mirror.
A lot more than I bargained for this morning, for sure. I should have some pics for later. This depresses me somewhat.
