I’m sure that’s what it looks like, on the side of I-25 near Loveland.  Too bad it didn’t look like that when the lady in front of me drove by it.  Three cars in front of her saw it.  Oh…but she was busy talking to someone on her cell phone.  Yeah,  she wound that thing up and shot it back on the front my my Clubman.

Damage:

• hood bent/twisted, clear bra & stripes will need to be replaced
• headlight trim ring
• bad scratches on front bumper
• bad scratches on bumpers black molding
• bad scratches on arch
• side marker broken
• damage to passenger door
• windshield

I have a few estimates so far, one that replaces the hood for $4,000, the other calls for fixing the hood at $2600.  There are downsides to both, I prefer to keep the stock parts, but a new hood will fit nicer.  i prefer the car not have body parts replaced.  Not sure if that really matters these days.
