Fiance doesn't think I should be mad after she smashed my car

I bought a ford F150 last december. I had it for 8 days before my girlfriend took out the whole right hand side of it on a lightpost's concrete base. The entire side, front to back.
Admittedly it wasn't her fault, as some guy blew through an intersection, and she had to choose between a two vehicle collision or going off the road and scraping a post.
Regardless, I was mad, but I was much more concerned that (in order) 1. She was OK and 2. -We- were OK.
It sucked. I was furious. I was beyond furious. New truck, huge insurance claim, yada yada, was in the shop for almost a week. Despite that, we joke about it now because really, it is *not* a big deal. You have insurance for exactly this reason -- so that disasters and emergencies are precisely not. As such, this is not a disaster or an emergency. It makes you unhappy, sure, but it is nothing to wreck your relationship over.

Put another dent in the other side of your car for good measure. Seriously, a car's a car, people use it for transportation and they are F****** dangerous. Unless you have an image to uphold (salesman, CEO, that kind of thing) quit being superficial about it and move on with life.

No point jumping to conclusions. A good relationship isn't one that comes perfect. A good relationship is one where you can reach mutual agreements when you have problems.
Shortly after being mad and getting unmad. We talked and later on, when I parked beside the curb, I saw her check to make sure she had enough clearance as to not drag my door on the ground again. So, communication FTW.

You have anger issues.
She obviously was not malicious. Nor did she try to hide it from you, so she was honest as well.
Ask yourself this:
What is remaining angry at her going to accomplish? What are you fixing by being angry still? What is your anger doing for you? For her? For anyone?
Ask yourself these questions. If you don't have an answer then you have issues with anger to work out.

How do you get to that conclusion? Getting angry and holding a grudge isn't going to change anything. His car will still have a dent in it and his fiance will still resent him for the crap he's putting her through. Get it fixed and stop bitching about it.
You think that's bad, look at what my wife did to my car a few months ago!!! I didn't give her any grief about that.

1. Calm down. Its only a car.
2. We all know women aren't the best drivers.
3. For reason #2, why is she driving your car?
The older I get, and the longer my wife and I have been together, the easier I can let things like this slide. Getting mad at your wife won't help *this* particular situation. Stuff like this I just laugh at, tease her a little, and she feels bad enough as it is.
