It sounds like you need a solid shift in your chaos magnetism polarity, make it repulsive and not so attractive.

Sorry for the car and glad he's okay. If the airbag didn't go off it looks like that wouldn't be too horrible to get fixed if it's just the front corner. Scrap yards could have most things needed. Unless it's just too much trouble at this point which I could totally understand, sometimes it's just easier to wash our hands of it.
