Flipped as in totaled?
Why didn't you have someone pull it back on it's wheels so you could continue on? A little dirt and scrapes don't hurt anything, they add character.

Oh come on that'll buff right out, I thought you meant totaled, this is totaled:

"insurance company may declare a vehicle totally destroyed ('totaled' or 'a write-off') if it appears replacement would be cheaper than repair."
