Anyone besides me curious how the bumper was cracked?  I'm curious as to what the bone head move was  



You'll love this story...

On Sunday they were calling for severe thunder-showers
with good likelihood of hail.
(heck, they were even flashing it on the TV screen ! )
And sure enough it was dark and windy at our place pretty quickly.

Since my garage is full of junk in the summer,
the car stays in the driveway.

Since I have to return the car (lease) at the end of this month,
I didn't want to risk getting it damaged by hail,
so I figured I would "try" to move it under a big tree next to my driveway
to shelter it from potential hail.

What I fail to notice was the large stone on the ground
cleverly hidden by weeds and such.
And since Sunfires have a notoriously low bumper cover clearance,
I clipped just enough of the rock to crack the corner of the bumper
and scratch the paint  
(..I was only going about 5 KM/h, ...but that was enough..)

--

So in trying to "protect" the car from the elements,
I actually caused more damage .

The best part ?
The storm completely missed us and we didn't get a single drop of rain...

So now I'm out $00's for no good reason.

As for insurance, my deductible is $500 ... so why bother...


sigh....
