Oh and forgot to mention that his insurance paid for the damage. My damage was very minor compared to yours, I went to their recommended body shop, got a quote for $1500, sent the quote to them and ask they send me a check so I can get it repaired at the shop of my choice. They sent me the check. I bought a scratch repair kit from a auto shop for less than $10 spent less than an hour and the damage is almost invisible unless you take a close up look.
My car is already more than 10 years so did not want to spend that much money to repair. Tyo paiso le masta moj gariyo.
