Arrow Insurance stuff ^$%&

I contacted State Farm to see how much it would be to fix two minor things on my car that the winter weather has caused me.

- A piece of my bumper was taken out by giant ice chunk.
- 1 day after lowering my car 2 inches i got cut off and was forced to make a sharp turn, plus high curb= scrape and dent on side.

State farm told me i would have to file 2 claims (250 deductible + 250 deductible = $500)
OK i have no problem with that but...
they also told me my insurance would go up 46 bucks a month
@#$%^&!!!!!!!
WTF thats like 600 a year.
these accidents were with a curb and a ice chunk.
not even with other people wtf?

Sooooo0o0o0o now i have my options.

-Go through insurance
-Get a body kit
-Go look at junkyards for a bumper
-Drive car off cliff
-FML

Yeah, insurance sucks. They've screwed me every single time I've dealt with them.

if you drive it off a cliff film it and make sure to jump out way before you think you need to. I learned that from GTA IV.

I would say no on the bodykit, it'll just get muffed up in the winter again. check a junk yard.

First one is fine, but you'll have to get it painted.

Second one is for an 00-02 actually.

Third and fourth should be fine ant they'll be pre-painted which is nice if you just want to throw it on and be done with it.
