They could tell you, but because you own an ERA, they'd have to then kill you.

Out of courtesy to the OP, I am not taking advantage of the situation to point out the benefits of a glass car.

Yep, and I am sure the company who insured the Bimmer will be quite shocked when they see the estimate provided by the folks in Utah.

Yeah, but it's called "the egg-shell plaintiff" rule. You bust it, you pay to fix it, regardless of how fragile or expensive that may be.

So, your saying cracked fiberglass with paint matching would be better? I think you take an Advil either way. The Kirkhams are awesome at fixing this kind of stuff. May I refer you to the Larry Ellison billet car?

Also, there's a CC member here that had a dent banged out of his Kirkham for free by an employee of the Kirkhams at, I think, the Western States Cobra Bash, if I remember correctrly. A few years back.
