Unhappy I miss my TL sooooo much!

I dropped off my TL last saturday to have a dent and scratch fixed. Its costing me $700 to have fixed. I really miss driving my TL! I didnt think it would be that bad not having my car for a week but it horrible.
The only good thing is my dad is letting me use his 99 corvette hardtop.
Oh, and yes its a 6-speed!

Are you having them do paintless body repair? I hear that method is much cheaper and faster than typical body shop methods. Not sure the nature of the damage.

Darn, does it cost that much to fix a dent and scratch? What's the extent of the damage?

Thanks to all who replied, heres some answers:
Im having the right rear quarter panel repainted b/c some kind human being keyed it 3 weeks after i got the car.
About 2 weeks ago i was driving and something "hit" the car. Im not sure what it was but it left a nice 6" dent in the left rear door. It went all the way down to the metal and had actually started to rust.
About the Corvette, Its the fastest car i have ever personally driven! You cant even compare it to the TL. Its a beast!
The Z06 is lighter and has more hp, i can only imagine what it must be like to drive.

is the Vette (not Z06) faster than Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4? (twin turbo with 4 wheel drive and 6 speed)

Redhot, im not sure on the stats of the Mitsu but i believe the Vette has 345hp. But we have a K&N intake and borla exhaust. Intakes supposed to add @12hp and the exhaust 14hp.
All i know for sure is that its fast as h@ll and it sounds great!

NBP TL... I hope you get your car back ASAP.

Hum... of course I was kidding about comparing the Vette to the TL.

I think the 3000GT might be faster on the highway if you really mod it. I know a Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo running something like 550hp+, but of course that's with some heavy modification. Stock to stock, I think I will put my money on the vette, but I honestly have no idea.

Hum... the Z06 is hell of a car, pretty much race ready, and more than enough for a day at the track. I am thinking about the Z06. I actually have a crazy idea. I want to fit two turntables and a DJ mixer at the trunk. I am going to measure the trunk space of the Vette soon, and see if it's possible. If so... hum.......
