Got clipped by a woman who lost control on ice and crossed into oncoming traffic. She grazed me as she went past.

Messed up the bumper cover on my Starion, purely cosmetic but it needed to be replaced.

Take it in to have her ins adjuster look at it and he noted the lower valence was cracked with a piece missing. I'd hit a chunk of hard pack slush a couple of days earlier.

He makes note of it and I told him that was already there.

He looked and me, shrugged and said "you want it replaced?"

Lower valences were almost unobtainable at the time and very expensive so I said "sure".

If her ins company was willing to take care of it I was not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
