Woman: You fixed my car's taillight with red cellophane? And duct tape? Man: Yep. Works like a charm. Woman: Ok. That's your car now. Man: Hey, wait a minute. I'm not driving with a taillight like that. Woman: Seems you are, Mr. Kind of fix it.
We had a goose egg sized dent placed in our fender just above the wheel well recently in a parking lot, perhaps by a wind blown truck door. Roughly $800 to get it fixed, because the car has gold colored paint, and it’s hard to match, so they had to blend the color out about 18". If there was any body damage associated with the broken red tail light lens, I doubt you could get it done for much less than $1500.
I often wonder if, when you buy an SUV, it automatically comes with a roll of fluorescent tape in the glove compartment to use when the rear windshield wiper fails.

YOU’RE the one who backed the car into the pole, sweetheart. You keep it, cellophane and all.

Well then, I’ll have to take out a bank loan to be able to afford the taillight assembly.

Person that broke it should fix it and drive it.
