Thanks everyone for your words of support.

I've taken this with a positive outlook:

--I will have a paid rental, which means I don't add miles to my car, nor will I have to use premium gas for a while.

--I will get a new lip (thank you everyone for your suggestions).

--I will get my clear bra redone (and some of you know about my clear bra... ).

--And I will have my car better looking than before because I'm bringing my car to Backyard Creations, and some of you guys know how good Joe Ortiz is with cars...

My car will be better than ever when it's done...

wow, i feel ya. I ran over a tire a week after having my bumper repainted. I couldn't change lanes. Gritted my teeth and took it like a man. Lucky ES ride height is higher, only slight scratches.

Ran over a bag of cement once and had a loud rattle noise that the dealer fixed in 30 mins o.O;

On my highways they also have bumbers lying around. yes i hit one of those too *sigh*

haha i keep remembering things i've hit before on the road. I hit a pedestrian last month.... except it wasnt on the highway and he wasn't lying around. He got up and ran away. Lucky me, no lawyers up my ***.
