just drive more and replace bumper or get it repainted because you'll see more rock chips and scratches than that
I figured that would be the case, I would rather damage due to road dirt than damage from another person though

even if I was parked on an autoX curse, I dunno who'd be running tires with treads like that on a course, according to the damage to my car aha

The could have been parked next to you and swung the gate wide and backhanded your bumper with the gate/tire

Probably these guys

You think it could have also just been a Jeep that reversed a little too much and it's rear tire contacted my car? Cause the damage doesn't appear to be on any sort of angle

But I drive 20-30k miles a year so I expect shit like this to happen more often then others I guess
I agree 100% that it isn't that bad. Just bummed about the fact that my two week old FRS already was already mistreated :/

This is exactly me. I have a ton of swirl marks on the paint of my black rav4. It was because in the beginning I didn't know how to properly wash a vehicle by hand and I caused all those ugly swirl marks. I know how hard it is to maintain a black vehicle, that's why I'm pissed with someone else hitting my car.

I get your point, sarcasm or not, but I didn't think I'd have a dent on the car this fast. I guess better sooner than later...
