But if they fix it, they'll need to block the road and there will be more traffic D:

Just means you're "seeing eye dog" can't be relied on, she's always texting you! :(
I have touch up paint but I'm scared to apply cause I might mess up. I can't even paint my own nails properly. lol

yeah! and after atlantic blvd had that big boom of stuff, it created more traffic :( lol rosemead blvd too :( im so glad they finally finished the "project spend money to make street nicer" thing. So much traffic before. i think my favorite road is mission and las tunas. Such big open roads with so little traffic!

When they did that project, traffic was so annoying there. :(

I like that road too! Just the there's this part of las tunas (kinda near walnut grove) when I drive on the far left lane, the road is bumpy there. :/

Wafflejuice 03-17-2015 09:18 PM

That happened to me too! but mine didn't bend that way. it bent upwards. No damage from what I saw.. just a scuffed up a bit underneath the lip kit. :/

Yup lol and there was no way out of it except to go through with it -_-

im not sure if I've ever been on the road that way lol i forget.

Huntington is a good road too xD so big

berkbrzfan 03-18-2015 12:47 PM

In the north east, the problem right now at empty parking spaces is the frozen chunks of ice that have fallen from wheel arches of other cars. Heard the dreadful grinding sound a few weeks back and winced. Left with scratches under the bumper.

Huntington is a very nice road. Rosemead blvd was a nice wide road before too... until that project to make it prettier happened and made the road narrower. >_<

I backed mine into a bush last night. Spent the next 5 minutes in the rain brushing pine needles and crap off of it while my wife laughed shaking her head.

<facepalm>

DaJo 03-18-2015 07:31 PM

Yeah, I almost ALWAYS back into my spots whenever physically possible. Love my reverse camera!

lionbacker54 03-18-2015 10:56 PM

actually that doesn't look bad at all. could have been a lot worse. i'd probably just leave it be, actually

00NissanNinja 03-18-2015 11:19 PM

After seeing the bumper bent like that, that is a lot less damage than I'd have expected. That looks relatively fixable with time and a good airbrush. I hate parking blocks. Luckily my over paranoia has kept me far away from curbs, parking blocks, and the many other dangers to the low bumper of my BRZ haha.

I used to be over paranoid and I need to be like that again. lol

That's why I'm glad it wasn't worse. Yeah... I planned on leaving it like this. I wouldn't want to mess it up even more with my crappy painting skills. lol

I do back park... well not all the time. My car is a daily driver and back parking for every space isn't really a good idea especially when I plan to get something really quick or in a crowded lot. lol Also I notice there are parking lots that have a sign that does not allow back parking. >_<

These 3 scratch marks are new. I think maybe an animal did this last night.

swarb 03-24-2015 09:22 PM

Not so bad. Could have been worse. A little touch up paint and a toothpic/thin hair brush and you're good. The three scratches look like they can be buffed out. Watch out of rats/possums in your engine bay. Someone told me a rat made a nest in his 240z and he used irish spring bar soap to keep them away.
