Hi David, Here's a life tool to help you learn something from this mishap. Say to yourself, "Who owns the problem?" Who has a problem with what occurred? It helps when assigning blame to look inward first. >From the sound of it, your poor lens was working fine until you were careless, Canon didn't whack the car door with your lens, you did. You just had a cosmic learning experience, learn from it. If you hadn't been careless and the lens hadn't broken, maybe you would've been careless after you got into the car, hit a tree and gotten killed! Go out, buy another lens, new ski boots and take up the slack by picking up a few extra hours at work. Quit whining, life's too short or you're too young to realize this yet.
