Very easy to get a $2-3k bumper scratch

I guarantee I could show you a picture of mine after I was hit from behind and from 20 feet you couldn't tell a thing was wrong. But the support structures had to be redone, the muffler was bent and had to be replaced, etc, etc. Easy $3k and the bumper repair and repaint was only about 30% of the total.

Our cars are awfully expensive to fix in both parts and labor. I hit a truck (my fault) and got out thinking $5-6k. How bad could it be, airbags didn't even deploy. They stopped counting at $27k and handed me the check. Totaled. I swear on a Honda the same would have been fixable for lots less.
