My very first brand new car in MY NAME, a KIA 4 door piece of shit, and weeks later a young kid at work with his first Car of any kind parked his on a slope in neutral and it rolled into my back bumper.
Surprising the amount of damage a car gently rolling into another can cause. I think I could have done more damage had I kicked the bumper wearing sneakers. 2 small dents and perhaps one long scratch across the bumper.
The estimate for repair was around $800------Yikes, what got to me was there was a baby seat in his car.
Hubby took things into his own hands as I refused to put in a claim. He borrowed one of those dent suction thingies and they popped right out, [AS seen on TV ] went to the dealership and for $5.00 bought a small bottle of paint to match the color, and Bingo, looked good as new. Upside was the kid willing to cover for hubby when he needed a day off, and his wife packed an extra lunch for me with his so I was feed free for months.
Bumpers my ass they are good for attaching a licence plate to, not much else.
Someone mentioned Air bags, we have had a rash of Auto Dealerships loosing these things by the dozens up here.
Inside jobs and outright crooks. Saw an ad for a new car that has 8, yes 8 of them front, back ,on both sides and in the back. Forget stealing the hub caps boys, go for the air bags.
