Default My wife backed into a pole this morning ugh

If its not bad enough she is nearly late to work everyday, this morning she is backing out of our drive way and slams the fence, hits a pole and does a grade a number on her car. She came home for lunch, and I got to see the damage. Scraps down the side of the back bumper, from the fence. a dent on the bumper, under the licenses plate. Right under the licenses plate, it took all the paint off in a dime size area. She also managed to break the smoked licenses plate cover and dent the license plate. Im hoping most of it will buff out. and I can just touch up the rest. What a way to start the weekend...
