Default My IS got beat up by a metal pole.....

So i was driving to work yesterday, and out of no where this big metal pipe falls off this truck and bounced all over the road. I tired to serve out of it's way, but it was to late and my bumper took the blow...



Anyone know how much this would cost to fix???

Not trying to make light of your accident, but add two dots and you've got a smiley-face on the front of your car.

that sucks... I kinda know what you feel.. I was DJing at a club 2 weekends ago.. had my car parked in front... and some dumb ***** got jealous and kicked my passenger door five times and put 5 decently big dents in there....

a) either they were drunk and being stupid
b) they probably were sober and just got jealous...
c) they're so lucky I don't know who they are
