    Got hit in stop and go freeway traffic this morning. Probably 10mph. The BA bumper did a good job on the guy's hood. No doubt he was playing with his phone.

    This is the exact reason why I want to replace my bumpers. Living in LA, there are some of the worst drivers I have ever experienced in my life.

    Let’s see. Touch up paint vs new hood?
    You win!

    Steel also great off road. A few weeks ago a dirt biker going way too fast around a blind corner and ran into my front bumper. Slight powder coat nick versus bent in plastic.

    I hope you got his insurance info. Have your frame checked. It's still possible it's a bit tweak even if it's not obvious.

    Born and raised in SoCal. Moved to Denver and I audibly laugh when someone says "DENVER HAS THE WORST DRIVERS"

    I'm over here thinking "WOW! Someone actually let me merge into traffic!"

    Yall are smug as shit! I love it!

    I wish the dude who rear ended me in my old mazda hit me in a truck with steel bumpers lol. I filed a claim against him and he started blowing up my phone saying I was lying and trying to get money out of him and he would not pay, etc etc etc. Thankfully I had uninsured motorist and was paid out through there, then my insurance went after his for the repayment.

    Keep trying to tell people get a dashcam. Oh no too expensive for a reliable one. ~$100. That $100 will save you thousands if not more with an attorney here in CA.

    I don't miss the days where I'm on the shoulder because the merge lane ended, looking over thinking "Bitch, are you not gonna let me in?! We're going 3 MPH anyways!"

    If only everyone could exercise the zipper merge and learning to take turns.

    It's been soooo nice driving around during quarantine. Traffic is sort of starting to picking back up.
