I Broke It... lol



I slid into a snowbank tryin' to back out of my laneway one dark and scary morning!

It's actually not THAT bad, but the one clip is broken which means the whole back end has to come off just to fix that one piece.

Actually, I was thinking of waiting until AFTER winter, just in case I run into anything else

And then I'm gonna move someplace where snow doesn't exist

Sorry to hear that, I actually got rear ended by a Taxi Cab here in Vegas, about 3 months ago, and the exact same thing happen to me, if your bumper was silver, it would have been an exact picture of what mine looked like.... its an easy fix..... and the guys that fixed mine, just pulled the bumper off halway and fixed it, only cost the taxi cab company about 300.00, and most of that was labor...

$300?! There's no way I'm paying that much to fix it LOL.

Its just the clip thats broke (clip is like $7.00). I have friends who know how to take it apart, I'll probably just get them to fix it for me.

There isn't any actual body damage, thankfully.

Other than then bumper being stuck out like that, no. There's no like dents or cracks or anything.

I'll have to replace the broken clip and then the rest of it can be popped back into place I think.

Will just have to pull the bumper off more first to fix it.

Just like my girlfriend...
She gets a brand new car from her parents and runs into shopping carts, light poles and almost my car! All she says is oops or you can fix it.
Just be careful with your GTS because I hate to see owners not care for their car.

Well I definitely dont run into things very often. LOL

I care for my car a lot. More than most guys I know, actually.

But unfortunately sh*t happens. It was dark out, my windows are tinted, the snowbank was in my blind spot (backing out of laneway) and our laneway was pretty much all ice.

By the time I realized I was gonna hit it, t'was too late. I hit the brakes but ran into it anyway.
