bumper question

(01-29-2011, 10:41 PM)Focus man. Focus. Wrote: Its all one piece. What did you hit? Snow bank....

It wasn't a snowbank once I was done with it.



edit: no damage other than the bumper. I lost a fog light and cracked away the lower valance. That's the extent of the damage. Lucky me too. Should've been a lot worse. The back end started to slide out on a wide turn after snow had been melting all day then it snowed a couple inches. Tried to save it but all I could do was attempt to make the impact as soft as possible, which theoretically didn't work but considering the damage I suppose it did.

I suppose someone's gunna want pics,
edit2: when I stepped out of the car I was walking through maybe 1-2ft of snow. Car was sitting parallel to the road, not on any crazy angle though I think the rear left wheel may have been hanging. Car would move backwards too but not forwards.

edit3: the pics of the car
this is all the damage there is. I drove it 30 minutes home after idling in it for over an hour waiting for a tow truck. No problems whatsoever, brake pads were frozen at first but they eventually loosened up. But as I've said, considering the impact I consider myself lucky that this is all that happened.
