How hard can it be....?

Miami you never cease to amaze me how you can back into a car.
This bumper is going to be a goner by the end of the year. That and me. Father won't see this soon. When he does I'll be a goner.

Anywhooooo. How y'all doing? I took a bit of a break to the panic induced adrenaline land and haven't been around. So what'd I miss?

If it makes you feel better, I had a lady throw open her car door without looking while I was backing into a spot.  She put a nice little dent in my left rear wheel well.

Oh, and that makes it the third time something has happened to my car in the past, oh, 6 months due to someone else being a moron.

It's suppose to be "just right" hard,  it's all designed to be sacrificed to reduce the energy transferred into the cockpit.

Modern bumpers are designed to get hit at 10mph or something like that. But the paint... I'm never around the car when this happens. The paint is taking a massive beating.
