So i got woken up by one of my roomies punding on my door because my car alarm was going off. As it turns out, my neighbor somehow managed to hit my car hard enough to break the bumper 🙁
Hopefully i can weld it back together and get it repained... sucks either way though

Damn, that sucks. Who's your insurer? What street do you live on? Looks like it might be around Thayer/Catherine area? 😉

No, she left a note. Apparently noone woke when she was pounding on my door.
I live down on state street (across from the im field). I'm really confused how she gathered enough speed to nail me that hard though.

Never underestimate the ability of a U-M student to become a complete and total idiot. 🙁

ya,
it takes a hot air gun with a narrow nozzle adapter and some polyurethane to weld it. I'm just hoping none of the mounts got messed up
 
I have had two accidents both caused by women drivers. One we were sat in a queue waiting we crept forward about 50 yards and she failed to stop and hit me from behind, the other she came up the side of me at an angle and hit the front end of my car, only doing 10mph and she cause 400 quids worth of damage!

don't weld it. have your neighbors insurance fix it right by having an approved body shop replace it.

He might not want the claim on his insurance. *shrugs*

really? I didn't know you could do that to a plastic bumper. I was being sarcastic, but if that really works, then more powa to you! Although with such a nice car, I'd get it done by a professional, unless of course you are a professional in which case I'll shut up now 🙂
