*blink* Wowee....

"So I finally got an estimate for the damage thje SUV did to The Cat on the 6th.
The estimate is $1194.29

No, really.

It's $771.04 in parts alone (bumper:$442.85, Energy absorbers: $120.97 each X 2, Chrome trim $26.35 each X 2, $33.55 for fasteners and such), another 2.2 hours of body labor and 4.5 hours of paint labor.

Damn.

Oh ,and I finally uplaoded pics of the damage:

• Rear shot showing the gouges in the bumper
  
• Close up of same
  
• Shot from other side showing where the bumper side has been knocked loose
  
• Front bumper of the SUV bearing the blood... err... paint of The Cat
  
• The force of the impact knocked the radio out of the dashboard and onto the floor
