Oh no mate, my missus did the same thing, but up against a post...lol...similar kind of damage!
 If you get it done professinally Ive been qouted $500 without paint.....lucky my brother is a sprayer with some panel beating mates. That looks a little worse than mine, go with insurance if I was you.

Ouch, good thing about the Falcon S, is that most of it, is just the rear bumper.
Hope you get her fixed up, nice and clean ;)

Shovel = $40
Petrol to drive to bush somewhere = $50 Hole = free, dig it yourself Carton for afterwards = $40 The satisfaction of knowing it will never happen again = PRICELESS

OUCH, bloody women drivers, I remember when my wife was driving the ute, she was too scared to smoke in it or go over 60. She's trained well, I like Austins idea, I know of a quicker way though.
