Stop over reacting. It's a car, and it is going to get nicked, scratched, and bumped. Trading it in for a 235 would likely put you another $10k+ in the hole, which is pointless debt to have. And there's nothing to say your sister won't back into that one in another 6 months or have it wrapped around a tree if it's your first car. (I can not imagine handling 320hp responsibly at that age).
My first car was a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker. You should fix the door, thank your parents, and remember in 6 months when you're recovering from another accident that you have a lot to learn.

Ditto to the max!
I remember the first car I purchased new. Not long after, I was rear-ended. I'll always remember what my dad said..."They make 1000's of cars in Detroit, but they only made one of you". A bit dated now, but the meaning is still clear.
I got it repaired at a quality shop, and got well over 125K miles out of it. Cosmetic damage is easy to deal with, frame and suspension damage is a bit tougher.
And, about the girl previously with 20 other guys... A fellow could have some really good times with a girl like that. Experience can add a lot...
