Got hit Friday night

[siteunseen]

I was waiting on a side street to pull out onto a highway and this younger guy drifted out of his lane to the right and clipped my front bumper. His rear right tire tore off 1 of the rubber bumpers on front. Scared the s h i t out of me. Nobody was hurt and it barely hurt my car.

Well, Thank goodness all were safe! And no serious damage occurred!

Wow... What are the chances?? The window for that kind of damage is like what... inch and a half wide? More than that and he would have caused way more damage and less than that and he would have missed you completely!

Those darned younger guys. I think we should get rid of the lot of them. And their Hondas.

PS - Exmark!

So, its hard to know. Either the larger bumper saved you, or he would have missed the smaller one altogether. Glad to hear their was no serious car or human damage.

Wow... texting while driving through an INTERSECTION?! (What could go wrong?) :stupid: Did he stop? If so, I hope you threw his smart phone on the ground and smashed it.

Best mower ever!

That's the only good thing that came from this. Thanks!

I thought the same thing! But had I been in the 240 and things went the wrong way, I'd be in jail. I would've drug him out and beat him senseless.

When I got to him he was still on the phone! But I think he was talking to Mom & Dad, they showed up in 2 minutes, then I called the Police. So this one little rubber bumper is going to get me a new front bumper, if there's one out there.

hey, Its good that nobody was hurt.Have you asked for the repair cost for your car rubber bumpers to that person who did this?

[siteunseen]

After that bump I'm liking those ugly bumpers even more but finding a replacement is going to be tough, and pricey. I need those end pieces too. I'm looking at different options now and in no hurry.

Hi,

Have you tried to search for the parts at the salvage yards or the salvage auctions. I guess there it will be easy to find it.

[siteunseen]

Actually a fellow member on this forum found one on craigslist.com for me. But after the accident I've been thinking about going another route, especially after seeing this picture. Not sure what it'll cost in the end but I've found an MSA 240z front bumper on craigslist and some spoilers, just not the Xenon one that I really want. If I can get a good deal on the pieces it'll be around $500 for the look I want, about the same as an OE bumper. Not safe at all but it looks good!

Oh yeah, there's 4 at an old junkyard just outside the city limits I've been robbing parts off of for awhile. When the weather permits I'm going to get the 1 rubber boot that got torn off in the accident and put it on, just to balance out the look of my bumper. It's all that got damaged. Thank you for your reply and hopefully you'll find one of your own soon.

You're a pretty good troll! I fell for it. Go away from here.
