Garage
Angry So it finally happened: bumped bumpers this AM.

On my way work this morning... kid tries to merge into me from the left. I accelerate ahead, traffic in front suddenly brakes (no reason) and bump!

So far just paint transfer on the bumper and the lip seal has a little rip. Exchanged info, no body damage. Luckily I have a spare lip seal in the garage. I'll probably end up just spraying the bumper myself if necessary.

I'll upload a pic later but the part that bugs me most is at 45mph the brakes locked. My bad since I put both pedals in instead of downshifting into 2nd and feathering the brakes.

Live and learn (and get stickier tyres), right?
