Oh good lord... good thought.

My car got a scratch on it and now the bottom half of the passenger door won't change color.

LOL imagine how expensive insurance will be on these that covers that once insurers learn of the cost to repair.

Oh you want de car scratch fixed and color change repaired.. Da we can do dat. 4 thousand dollars, and leave it with us for 3 months. Your insurance covers rentals da?
