someone was parked in my assigned spot so I had to park on the street.
I then curbed a rear wheel ....twice.
Luckily they were my winter beaters that will probably retired due to vibration/bad fit.

Sailing1 - not sure. Here in Massachusetts windshields are covered under our insurance.

Garage
I can tell from experience, that a new window will cost you about $500 with the installation.

I did exactly this last year. I was so angry with myself and felt like such a fool. I hate to admit it but hearing that other people have made the same mistake makes me feel a little better(sorry).

I also had to pay $100 deductible with my insurance.

It was a $100 oops

Excellent idea on the towel! The shop I use for glass is very good. I've had them do glass in everything from an Opel GT to every piece of glass in my 951. Never had an issue because my aunt is a VP there, It helps.

I wonder what a really good paintless dent removal guy could do with that. Looks like you hit flush.

Yeah, it was mostly a side-scrape so it might be a fairly easy repair. I'll look into a more permanent repair after racing this weekend. For this week, the goal was to slop some makeup on and cover it as best I could!
