"I bunged your car"

As a 17 yr old I had managed to buy my own car.  It was only a few years old and I was very proud of it.  Dad borrowed it occasionally - no big deal.  One morning he came home from using it to drive Anna to school and announced "I bunged your car".  WHAT !?  We went outside to look at it.  The driver's side fender was quite dented and scratched up.  The accident was his fault.  Because he had taken an auto body class years before he was able to mostly fix it but it really was never the same again.  He got most of the dents out but to make it look perfect would require massive sanding and painting.  It was decided that since the paint might not match the rest of the car perfectly it was better to leave it slightly blemished.  I personally think it was his way of getting even - the summer before I had severely damaged his car.
