Well, I don't know what your experience has been with the automotive
insurance industry in this province. My experience has been
overwhelmingly negative. I would accuse them of being run by the mafia,
but I think the mafia would be more reasonable and understanding than
the treatment I've received. I'm afraid if I make another claim, I'm
going to get dropped and blacklisted (again).

Nope, neither of us felt it was serious enough to require a police presence.

The deductible is $300. I'm sure a reputable body shop would charge a
lot more than that to do a professional job, and it would come out
looking a lot better than what I'll probably end up with. That's okay
with me.

It's mine, all mine!!! Bwahahaha!!!

Ahem, sorry. It's paid for and in my name.

After sleeping on it, that's definitely "plan B". Plan A is to try
hammering it back in to shape and see what happens. Plan C is to
upgrade to a beefier off-road bumper. I need to look in to that option
to see how feasabile it is, though.
