Default I joined the club.
I joined the need a new bumper club today.
In the morning on the way to work I ran over a tyre on the freeway.
Did not see it until the llast moment
The paint is peeling on the front bumper and is cracked. Fog light bracket is broken and more.

Got an estimate at the deal. Repair cost $1600

Damn! Sorry to see that. $1600 is a lot, but then again, that's why I call then stealerships.

eh.. that's what insurance is for. Take it to a good shop and enjoy your freshly repainted front end when it's done.

Got my car back yesterday.
No more front licence plate

Lone Star Chevrolet did a great job on getting my car all fixed up.

The previous owner(s) of my car put like 846 holes in the bumper to mount the license plate. It doesn't normally bug me, but seeing a cleeeean front bumper like that makes me realize how shitty mine looks.

Looks good and the exact reason I carry $0 deductible on comprehensive.

City driving and retreads on the roads.
