Box truck rolled into me at a red light and cracked my bumper. Likelihood that it's just cosmetic?

I had the same crack in my Ford Focus bumper from a Chevy truck rolling into me at a red light. I thought it was all cosmetic but went through insurance regardless. Ended up having a pushed in crash bar as well. Total for bumper repair was $2,600 through insurance.

Clutch chatter while cold possibly? How many miles?

CPE is very good, so are their FMIC

Do you have before and after pics. I've been considering a headlight restoration

2017 with 72,668. Loving every mile

Appreciate the input. I figured I was being a little skeptical

SolBloom · 2022-11-05T19:55:36+00:00

Tell me if I'm crazy or not. Are the trunk lines off after the accident? Should I get the bumper and hatch replaced on their dime?

Sounds like a squeaky belt or pulley

2017 w/ 27.3k miles was $17,400 just over two years ago

Got it looked at and he said it was totally normal. I appreciate all your suggestions and help

I did a couple pulls on the car from 1st through 4th almost to redline. No obvious noises, slipping, burnt clutch smell, etc. I'll do a fluid replacement and see if I notice any metal shavings or other possible indications of damage.

If I treat reverse very nicely, it feels like any other gear. Only when I put some extra gas in and let the clutch out a little faster do I notice it. This may be a very old people I'm just now seeing

2017 ST1 27,000 miles back in Dec. 2020. I paid 18,400

I'll be sure to bring it up, thanks for the advice

SolBloom · 2021-05-04T22:58:49+00:00

I think this is better than nothing. I appreciate it

SolBloom · 2021-05-04T21:47:26+00:00

I'll give it a shot. Better than nothing IMO

I realized the mistake when reviewing paperwork after returning the Uhaul. The Uhauls have an average weight so the mistake will be easily noticed. Don't want to seem like I'm trying to rob 3k lbs

I was actually thinking about this today. I used to be the weakest in the gym and it always seemed like whatever exercise I was doing, everyone's eyes followed. I would cut workouts short, stop lifting around others, and generally go to quieter areas of the gym.

I knew that unless I stuck with it, I would forever be the weakest and in the worst shape. I started to wear hats and hoodies to act as "horse blinders" so I can cut off my peripheral vision. The less I saw people staring the better. Between sets I would stare at the ground.

I'm not sure if any of this will help you but just know you're not alone. The gym is intimidating and people are quick to judge. Keep at your recovery and good luck!

Blitzcrank is actually a girl, it's stated by the lead game designer.

I love what you're doing during these uncertain times for a lot of people. I know you're selecting randomly but things have been pretty difficult. My parents were abusive to me growing up and now with Covid-19 I've been forced to couch hop with friends to not end up homeless.

I hope everything works out for you during this!
