Have you considered that you may be inclined towards the sport of drifting? You may have mad skills. For your future endeavors, I'd remove the rear bumper all together and replace it with a bash bar!

Glad that you're alright buddy, do we need to put the tennis ball back in garage though?

The paint isn't cracked (except for the small chip below the tail light.

What do you think it will take to fix it?

Ya reckon a good PDR person can push/pull it back out?

How much do you thing it will cost to repair it?


humfrz -

I had that happen. I heat gunned the front till I could feel the back get hot/warm, and pushed out the dent. Its not perfect, but you cant see it till you are a few inches away.

Or take it to a shop. There will be some to minor spider-ing in the paint. So, PDR will work if you don't want it perfect, but to make it look new you will need to remove the bumper and paint it.

I am just glad I wasn't in it with him this time. I still haven't received my injury award from the last time.

I understand your claim is still going through the courts, 10 billion dollars is a lot, for even an insurance company -

So just take it off and maaaybeeeee heat it up with a hair dryer, that dent should pop right out and you'll be back into shape without paying someone $200 to do exactly the same.

Many thanks, DAEMANO -

If I turned this road trip blunder around using just a hotel coffee maker, you can do a better job.



Sounds like the tools for delivering a baby...

Damn good idea. Then, do you think the exhaust would sound like a 1955 T-Bird?
