re: WWTOTD- 9 yo daughter ran into wife's car with polaris

i am not a body guy but that is gonna run a whole lot more than 2k.

anytime you damage the hood or liftgate it is costly. you cant bang that out and get a tight seal. it will need to be replaced and the labor to remove all the internals and panels will cost a ton. then the paint blending on both sides will take several layers and a wider frame to cover up the damage.

i am guessing more like $4500.00

glad your little girl is ok.

I have a daughter, but I would never let her drive until she's about 14 or 15. You know, the age they get their permit? 

Letting her drive anything at 9 is ridiculous. But I'm not a redneck so I guess it's different.

So, in your mind, the first time they should drive is at 15? A child should never back up their parents car, drive in a parents lap in a controlled situation, or drive a 50cc four wheeler (which is specifically designed for younger children)?

If I'm a redneck, you are a liberal pussy.

This. The wreck wasn't the kids fault, that's on your parents for not properly supervising. You're liable for damages. Live and learn.
