Default 1st accident after 2+ yrs of ownership :((

anyone know of any dependable and reasonbly priced body shop around DC, VA, and MD areas? How much you think it would cost?

This is my fault so (. She will never be the same

***UPDATE***
For those asking what happened. You guys will never believe what happened. It is actually kind of EMBARRASSING. No red poles or watsover, but it was a red car. I was dropping off my date in front of her house. We kissed and started making out. My car is a manual and I didn't engage the hand brake (only my foot on the brake pedal). Anyhow, things get heated and I let go of the pedal without even knowing it. Her house is on a slope so the car drifted down and hit one of the parked car on the other side of the street. Yeah, it was drifted from right side to left side of the street. It was like 2am so no other cars was behind. Everything just went south after that. No bragging, true story. EPIC FAILURE

BTW, I did leave my insurance card behind if you are wondering ). What comes around goes around (my motto)

No matter how big or small the damage is, it is damaged...no longer the same

Thanks for the concerns guys. NOW, anyone know any good body shops around MD, VA, DC area????????

Sorry to hear about it, but it happens. Hopefully you get a couple of good references for local body shops.

Sorry to hear about the accident. Not to worry, they do happen once in awhile.
Did you back into a red parking pole or something?

It's not too bad. Don't worry about it. It happens. Look on the bright side at least your car isn't like this..

was it that red car behind you in the pic? They'll have to blend the paint for that entire quarter panel. Some shops will do surroundin panels as well so that'll make the cost obviously more.
