Shiny, that sucks. The hits just keep coming, don't they? My W has trouble with stationary objects too. She has hit a parked car and an ATM within the last year (maybe she had too much on her mind???).
I hope your C session goes well tonight. Hang in there a don't get bummed about the car. You could do what I did once: go to the repair shop, ask for an estimate and a chance to see the facilities. While looking around the guy doing the estimate will get called away (they always do when you take too much of their time). When he/she is gone, ask one of the body repairmen if he could fix your car at home or if he knows of someone who can. This could save you 1/2 the money, especially if you buy your own putties and paint (get code from driver's door for paint color). Hope this helps.
