Bendy Bumper
 

So last night, I was pulling up to a parking space between two cars from the right side, I saw that the parking spot looked like it had no concrete parking block thing. When turned to the spot, I guess my car was too low to see it from my angle so I hit it(thinking there was no block, I concentrated on parking my front about the same length as the other cars around me.). :(

I was really bummed out cause I practically spent all afternoon detailing my car. Luckily, I was able to bend it back and I just have some scuff marks now. No paint cracked on my bumper or bend marks, so I'm glad about that. :)

At first, I nearly almost cried seeing my car this way...

Whoever decided to be cheap and use one block for two spots, you are evil to me! Now I will be extra paranoid for these things when I park. :cry:

Got lucky that you escaped with just a few scuffs from that. That bent a lot!


Be glad you're in SoCal. Everyone up here who has clipped the littlest things has ended up with destroyed bumpers. They get so brittle in the cold.

Man, I shuddered when I saw your first pic. Even more amazing was that the clips behind the headlight held.

Big sigh of relief!

so weird to see that bumper spanning the middle of two parking spaces. is that a common thing?

where is this place so i can never go there! prolly all dis cali heat made your bumper super flexible

omg wow...glad it didnt destroy it!

Choco nooooooo :'( . That parking lot designer is evil af.

oh well, glad to see it's back to form.. scuffs are just battle scars!

Aww that sucks, after you did such a great job detailing the car.

Can't believe only "some scuff marks" resulted from picture exhibit A... I'm amazed how flexible that bumper is! From the picture it looked pretty bad...

Glad the damage was minimal!

Shit happens...

Yeah, when i got out of the car, I expected a huge crack on my lip. So glad just minor damage. It was pretty hot lately, so I guess I am grateful for the weather.

Yeah, I was very much scared to look at my damage after I turned off the car. I think my bumper would have popped off. My mechanic helped me fix that headlight clip problem I used to have. :)

Nope! That's why I never expected it there. If it was common, I would have been wary of this happening. It's usually one block for each spot or none at all.

Literally right in front of this place: http://www.yelp.com/biz/cha-bei-bei-tea-house-rosemead
You don't need to avoid the place, just got to be careful. lol
Yeah, I was so scared! D:
You should watch out since you live in Rosemead. lol
Yeah pure evil, I assume it to save money on buying those stupid blocks. :mad0259:
Yeah, all my hard work... :cry:
Yeah, it was pretty amazing! I still need to check out my car though. I haven't really fully inspected it today. (I haven't left my house yet today. haha)

Holy shitballs.

Post pic of damage please.

Haha... Thanks Girl, you are loved.

my wife and I love her dogs.. I want a husky or pomsky so bad :wub:
