  • Check out my new idea, the half bumper mod!!!

    Had a small accident driving home from Detroit today. A humongous tire tread, aka an alligator, came off a truck apparently, one of the biggest I've ever seen. Guy in front of me swerved, and then I tried to move over but there was a car there, hit my front bumper pretty hard.





    I couldn't drive far as is, the whole driver's side bumper was dragging, and the inner liner on that side got pulled down out of the pins... So I found a small hole in the wall car shop and borrowed their sawzall..







    Add in about 10 zipties used to make three long ones, and I was able to drive the 5 hours home no problem.

    Unfortunately the fender has some issues, and the driver's door has some dents too. Wah.

      Bummer, sorry to see/hear of your misfortune. Glad it wasn't worse than it was and no one was hurt. Opportunity for a ZL1 bumper mod?

            Thanks guys. I could ask on the ZL1 bumper I guess. I'll be driving it this way a bit until Monday when I drop it off.
