Dad has scratched my car, what should I do?

Just come across this thread and see it's months old so i'm sure the Op has sorted things out by now, but i'd like to throw in my tuppence worth with a similar story. As some may know i've said before i use to drive a Black Cab on nights, my day driver that i shared with was my Mum.
Years ago now, she came home about 5pm on a Christmas Eve really upset, she'd been doing a right turn but never noticed the car coming towards her, it was dark and bad weather and she's a woman driver. Anyway he took the near side doors and front wing out of the Cab.
So here am i getting ready to go to work on the busiest night of the year, and where can you go to get repairs done at that time of a Christmas Eve, so it's not just one day i was losing.
What can you say, she was already upset without me shouting and balling. So i just shrugged my shoulders and said so long as she was Ok, she hadn't done it on purpose it was an accident. It's only money.

Well, it certainly gripped better than my poor old Rover did - in fact, it hardly moved at all while the car's monnet flowed round it in a pleasing free-form sort of way

Personally, when I look at the amount of work I made my parents when I was a kid, anything of mine my folks ever break is the tip of the iceberg.

So far over the years my dad's blown up the engine on my old van, backed my car into a wall, knackered two of my trailers, left the front on my car stereo leading to the car getting broken into.

But on the flipside, when I entered my teenage years, he decided it made sense to get a vasectomy.
