Default My poor bumper

It was really dark I was about to make a 5 point u turn in a closed off area. When I was finished, I gased the car to hear a loud ***CLUNKKKKK***. I was like "WTF!?!?!?" and then I put it in reverse and gased it light to hear it still go ***CLUNNKKKKKK***. Pulled my e-break and got out of the car to find that I ran over some off placed parking lot dividers. It was right under the front of my car. It left a couple of scratches on the bottom of my front bumper and I had to jack up my car to get those damn bastards out from under my car.. Just had to let it out.. thanks for listening guys... Now I am looking for front bumper from bay area if anyone wants to PM me.

On my way home from our group drive in Cincinnati, I found myself in the midst of a real mess. Cars were swerving all over the interstate to miss huge chunks of truck tire pieces that were flying all over the place. I missed all of them except for one that the car in front of me ran over. It flew up from the road and smacked the front bumper very hard.

When I cleaned it up, most of the black mess came off, but it left many scratches in several areas and made a big mess out of my bumper. I can use the touch up paint for most of them, but there are several places that need to be repainted, now. It looks like the paint was scratched in a place about an inch wide and several inches long. It's still red, but you can see the black plastic under the paint.

yea i had a box hit me on the freeway on the right corner of my front bumper when a truck ran over it. It left multiple cuts on the paint and I've only had my car for about 4 months...Fortunately I'll have one of my coworkers dad, who owns a body shop, sand, and repaint, and put 20893109831209 clear coats on it next week.
