Can you do the work yourself? If so order parts and save yourself the labor.

EVOC training and testing done. I passed every station on the first try. Not one cone was touched. I must say, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself. 
I'd do the work myself. Shop around a bit for the parts and put them on yourself at the very least. If you're scared to do the paint yourself, pay them to do that. It'll save a decent chunk.
Look at lkq parts, they're a parts recycler (sort of like a pick a part that's already picked them. Just a little more convenient). I've always had good luck with body parts from them. I even had them search for the same color body parts for me a couple times to save me the paint.
Also. I'd shop around a bit for your insurance. Im a 20 year old male with 3 accidents and 4 tickets and I barely pay that amount for my insurance. Full coverage for two vehicles. I know USAA is supposed to be good, but that seems excessive...
Speaking of cars. This was pretty awesome.

That seems pretty pricey for some minor cosmetic work. I would just pay out of pocket rather than have my insurance spike.

So, after about 8 months of eating cold food, I decided to go buy a $20 microwave for my dept's kitchen area... I think I finally got the medics to like me.

@Jim37F that is why you should raise your deductible to $1000 and probly significantly lower your premium.

Peanut butter and banana sandwich with extra peanut butter. Just the thing for those late night munchies.

Monday, could not keep up with the calls. Yesterday was slow. Today is down right boring. Give me a busy day any day.

I LOVE those. Do you toast the bread? I have to have the bread toasted. And now I'm officially craving one.

I feel @RocketMedic's pain. Chest pain call, partner doesn't bring anything into the house. Looks at me like I'm an idiot for bringing the monitor.

So I think now would be an appropriate time to start a pool on how long that SoCal EMS thread with Explorer-1 will last.
Over/under 1 week?

I really, really hope it keeps going. Where else could we get gems of wisdom from our friend Sulcan? Or Sultan? Or Sultam? Or possibly Tim?

Best thread I've seen in a long time, but the NY Wacker POV lights thread is close.
