Driving around today, hit some road debris... some asshat threw some heavy tree limbs in the road, tried to drive around but oncoming traffic made it impossible. hit the right side... took out my fog light and cracked the lower bumper valance. I could have salvaged the light but as I was taking the branch out of the road some one in a BMW Convertible ran right over it.... ah well.

It could have been worse. Like a bent radiator support bracket.

My friend with a '99 E320 wagon hit something made of metal in the road one night. That bent the shock somehow, it rattled a lot but he was able to gimp home. He replaced the ball joint and a control arm and it wasn't cheap.
Will your insurance cover this like it would a windshield?

I got hit in my car about a month ago. Small corner swipe, no structural damage = new fender, all new front plastics and foam energy absorber and paint. Get this, $4700.00!!!

Shoot, that's about all the car's worth...

Body work today is atrocious in cost.

The damage is not worth reporting to the insc company. I will fix it myself. Cheaper that way..
