The crap car, before and after.

The cost of the repairs, even without any kind of paint job = ~5.2 times the blue book value of the vehicle.

The repair $$ was graciously forked over by Marci, the lady with the mammoth SUV. (She didn't even notice the crap car as she backed out of the parking space. It's just that kind of car---or rather, they are just those kinds of cars.)
