So I thought I could make it (WARNING Damage Inside)

CANMAN · 05-11-2007, 01:37 PM

I am so pissed right now. I pulled into my old apartment complex today to settle a dispute over a bill. Anyway they have triangle shaped curbs that form like plant boxes for trees in the parking lot. I never park in those spots though because the angle of the curb makes it so you can't pull all the way into the spot. Well there were no spots left so I had to park in one of these spots. I am always very careful when pulling in because I am dropped pretty far and never clear curbs in the front. So I pull in carefully and I am trying to inch in to avoid my ass end sticking out in the road and it happens

. Front bumper hits the point in the curb

, buckles out and screws the paint all to hell. I was so pissed. Reason I wasn't paying attention: I was checking out a NHBP FG parked right next to me

So I f*cked my car up looking at a fellow si'ers car. Just ordered a new bumper and trying to find a paint shop now. Just needed to vent and I thought the situation was kinda funny even though now I am out 400 + dollars. Anyone wish to donate

I guess I can look on the brightside of things. I have to redo my fogs with lamin-x cuz my old ones are burnt now so I will be able to do that and reinstall the fogs on the new bumper. Moral of the story pay attention, normally I only get distracted when I see hot women, its pretty bad when you hit something because you were looking at a car. My fiance laughed at me.

the hfp kit will cover that.

Dueces22 · 05-11-2007, 01:40 PM

Just get an HFP lip to cover it and you're all set!

Please dont spend $400 on a new bumper, trust us it will cover just fine and look dope too!

CANMAN · 05-11-2007, 01:42 PM

Yeah I thought about that but the actual plastic part that hold the screw in on the top of the bumper is broken too. When you push the bumper back in it wants to pop right back out because that screw no longer holds it in place.

New bumper (unpainted) is $180 online at college hills or majestichonda. Shipping may be a pain though lol

Ah dude we just talked about bottoming out the other day I jinxed you man sorry....Good thing it wasn't the exhaust.....

CANMAN · 05-11-2007, 01:59 PM

Yeah man it's your fault. I found out who owned the SI I was looking at when I hit the curb. It's a hot black girl

who works in the rental office at the complex. I got to talking to her afterwards because she's the one who handled the bill thing. She asked me if I drove the SI that just pulled up and said she liked my wheels. I told her I was a dumbass and just hit the curb while looking at her SI. I was trying to get her to feel sorry for me but she laughed instead. Cool chick though
