Angry Damnit, curse finally hit me

damn, all these years driving, i've been pretty lucky not to have been hit. well, today i finally go rear ended on the freeway. traffic was stopped and then a camaro bumped my back. luckily, it looks like it's only the bumper that needs to be refinished/replaced. freakin teenager who hit me just got his license back in february too.

There is Styrofoam behind the cover that is supposed to absorb the impact of any accidents.

Make sure nothing is messed up on the frame either or anything warped. Try to suck as much money out of this as you can.
