Car body repairs are always very costly. Even the slightest ding costs a lot, it seems. Believe me I know-my car was cursed a couple of years ago and had three body repairs done in six months time. What I don't understand is why hoopsfan has to pay the deductible, since it wasn't your fault. Even if the perpetrator did a hit and run and you don't know who it is, wouldn't your comprehensive cover it? Mine did when my car got keyed up, even though we had no idea who did it.
