Is your GF worth 2K?
If the answer is Yes, don't get mad!
Chances are, she will value your calmness in the situation and give you payment in another form, if you know what I mean

Everyone,
So my girlfriend backed over a parking block with my not even 1yr old GS. Caused 2k in damage and requires a new bumper cover and paint job. The body shop is on their 4th try at painting the bumper. So far they have not even come close to matching the paint.
Needless to say the situation is a nightmare and I have found myself getting a little too upset with my g/f about her ineptness to drive the car properly given it has parking sensors and a camera to prevent stuff like this.
How does everyone cope with these situations? I really feel bad about getting mad at her about it but I just can't help it. My car is the one thing I spend a lot of time taking care of.
Thanks for allowing me to vent.

Seriously though, back-up sensors ANNNNND back up camera. Where the hell was her head?
What if that was some poor kid on a tricycle? It won't do either of you any good for you to stay mad, but a stern lecture and loss of driving YOUR car privileges needs to be instituted.

I know how you feel. I have been with my wife when she has rashed all wheels and tires, ran up on side walks in partking spots and other driving/parking habits that would make a you cry. To her point, she says its my car......... I say if that is how you treat an automobile, there is ZERO CHANCE THAT YOU WILL EVER DRIVE ANY OF MY CARS.
I know it sounds bad, but THIS NEW (USED 07) IS NOW MY PRIDE AND JOY..... NO HARM WILL BECOME OF HER!!!

If your significant other can't drive without seriously messing a car up, then you should just get a $2000 civic from the mid 90's for her to drive and destroy as she wishes.
Do you give your $2000 DSLR to your 4 year old to take pictures of their art projects with? No, you give them a $20 kids camera. :P

i trust my GF (soon to be wife) with my ride. even though there might be less of an **** approach at certain things (parking away from other cars, opening doors onto things that will cause dings, etc), a car's a car. that being said, she knows that i take extra care of my car because I earned it. she did park it a little too close to a wall one time and it left a nasty looking (albeit small) scratch. she was upfront and honest with me, and that i can appreciate, so i just tried to do the best color matching at my friend's shop and with some buffing and polishing, i can barely notice it, even though I know its there 
i love my car dearly, but i love my girl even more...
