and bumpers are highly directional. While negotiating traffic near the mall, I was hit by a Cobalt at 5-10mph. I came to a stop before the impact, with a few inches of my nose in her lane, and she hit the side of my bumper with the front of hers. Her bumper cover has some scuffs, but she nearly tore my bumper off.
Mounting tabs on both my headlights broke, the radiator is twisted, and it needed a new front bulkhead.
Fortunately, I knew where to find one. $50 at the U-pull. There are words you can use to make a part sound inexpensive, like "radiator support bracket", and words that make it sound expensive, like "front sub-frame assy".
Unfortunately, I'd just sold the radiator and the center section of that bracket to a forum member. In fact, the collision happened *while I was leaving the UPS store*.
All told, this collision cost me $85, plus a mound of aggravation. This is not how I had planned to spend my weekend. But at least the Harlequin Insight is back in service.
Drive carefully out there.
