Morally, you should make payments. Perhaps you could offer to pay monthly installments.

Get the money to pay for the repairs. It's not her fault that you are irresponsible. If you don't pay her, she can file a lawsuit against you. And trust me, that will end up costing more than just finding a way to pay her now.

Pay the damage you caused. (old fashioned idea about being responsible for what you do. I am sure no one ever told you about the idea.

One has to ask what are you doing driving without ins? If the owner has collision ins. they may pay for the damage, but then they (the ins.co.) will come after you for reimbursement. Figure out how to pay, and take it as one of life's lessons: obey the law.

There's an old saying in the law: "You can't get blood out of a turnip". You are the turnip. The owner is best off making a collision claim on his or her policy. However, the insurance company may come after you for reimbursement.

You are really childish. You have a 3000 pound lethal weapon which you are driving, without any financial responsibility. What do you think is going to happen? Slap you on the wrist and say that you were a bad boy? You caused damage and you have to pay for it. No money? Too bad. Don't drive. If you can't do the time, you don't do the crime.
