Ya, women don't respond as well to screaming, lol. Sucks about the car, but express your anger in a different way. Sit her down and explain why it's bad(money thing) and let it go. If you let things roll off, many heart attacks can seriously be avoided. People make mistakes, part of life. Golf clubs through windows equal even more money btw.
People make mistakes ... especially female drivers ... j/k 
My wife has done something similar with my new Mazda 6, but I just don't care that much. If I saw her intentionally do it, I'd be raving, but hey, you plan to marry this woman yet you can get this mad at her??

Ok, not really a girls car like the vw bug or cabriolet, but its still girlier then a truck. I was considering one myself until I saw the mpg ratings. Maybe I have too much of an old man in me but the camry engine in a lighter body shouldn't be getting 4mpg less then a regular camry.
Sure, if I want our rates to go up. Her DUI from three years ago just went off her history, I certainly don't want to have to pay $50/month extra for something dumb like this.
If you feel the need to flip out just because somebody hurt your fixable car, then it doesn't sound like you'll be in that relationship too long. I'd give her advice on how to back out better and later say don't worry about it, just be more careful next time. I can't bring myself to screaming at anybody for doing anything. It doesn't solve anything and it just screams (no pun intended) anger management issues.
OK, looks like everyone thinks I over-reacted. Guess I'll apologize to her when she comes home (she left again). I have a hard time believing everyone replying would be able to blow off the cost of fixing it, but whatever.
Oh you fvcked up man.
If you had just acted sad and dejected, you would've FINALLY had something to use against her everytime you guys had a disagreement. You would've weilded the power of a woman in the relationship! Now, she's turned it against you

Sounds like you should have moved her truck for her first. It's just a car, and parking accidents happen, especially when a garage is involved.
Also sounds like you may have anger management issues if you got mad at the woman you want to marry over a little thing like that. It doesn't sound like it is something that will change the safety or operability of the vehicle, so why even care? This was your opportunity to show her that she's more important than a mere car, but you blew it. Buy her flowers and ice cream today to make up for it. If you're serious about wanting to be with this girl, you need to stop being defensive about your stuff and yourself from her. Defensive and angry reactions are almost never helpful in a relationship.
Girl cheats-->angry, and rightfully so
Girl accidently breaks something of yours that's expensive/irreplaceable--> be greatful for the opportunity to show her that she's what you really care about, not the object.
Ignore my advice as you wish, but if you do she may very well continue to be hurt by this incident, and afraid of you, for years to come.

You have every right to be upset, but seriously, after 5 minutes just chill out. It's just a car and it was an accident.
You should apologize for yelling. You didn't have any right to yell at her.

My wife has:
(before she knew me) Rolled her car, changing her radio station. She drifted off the lane into the dirt.
Backed up into a mailbox in a cul-de-sac.
Backing out of a parking lot, hit the car parked beside her.
As well as running a stop sign(two way stop), and when I yelled Stop Sign she slammed on the breaks stopping in front of the the vehicle with the right of way. I yelled go-go-go, and the car barely hit our bumper. No damage on the other persons vehicle, and ours was rental.
Yet she gets nervous when anyone else drives.

She's right, it's only a car. It's not like she meant to do it.
Get over it.
My wife did this to my car a few months ago. I didn't even raise my voice and I was right there in our garage when she did it. She backed out of our driveway an caught the rear bumper of our neighbor's car. Didn't do any damage to the other car fortunately. Still, cost us a $500 deductible.

I was wondering that myself.
And why was she parked perpendicular to the driveway to begin with?
You have to back up like this every day? If so, I'd ask her to park in a better spot/position.
As it is, though. Sh*t happens. If you love her enouigh to marry her, you should be able to get over it.
Borrow her truck and smash it into every light post on your street. Then when shes about to have a seziure on the driveway while she looks at it, just say "hey, its just a car, dont get so mad over it" Then proceed to smash out every window with a baseball bat.
The real question is, why do you guys park your cars in such a precarious way? What's the layout of your driveway/front yard like?
accients happen, she will be more careful next time. and that's it if she does it again she should not be allowed to move your car again. but first time have to give her a break.
if she does it again she should not be allowed to move your car again. but first time have to give her a break.because we've got a fvcked up parking situation, we have one stall for two cars. it's not possible to park the second car elsewhere.

No disrespect meant, but if the cost of repairing a fender-bender is a big deal to you, I'd suggest you might want to hold off on getting married. I'm not saying I wouldn't be seriously annoyed by paying $1,000 to fix my car, but it wouldn't really sting much financially.
Looks like it's repairable work, settle down a little. You should be mad, but I came in here expecting to hear that she'd *totaled* your car. You'll survive: My parents have been married 30 years - and my mom boogered several of my father's cars while they were going out

Getting married will actually save us quite a bit of money. She doesn't have health insurance right now. And no disrespect intended here either, but I don't have lawyers salary.
Is there any where else to park the truck? Because if it's as hard as you describe then I would just move the truck, and you have a right to be upset, but not as much as it sounds like you are.
She should be forced to undergo some form of punishment.
Send her over to my house and I'll take care of that for you!
