Was driving my Nav couple months ago. Pulled into parking space in front of my destination. But wait - car still moving! Jumped the curb! Hit the corner of the building! Not very hard but unknown to me this used Nav I bought 6 years ago had seen a harder hit in same spot before I bought it. Directly in the front. Attaching pic. What was missing from my Nav was the "Bumper Reinforcing bar". I installed a new one, circled in red. Had that been there most of the other damage would have meen minimized. As of now I've got some rebuild to do. Insurance? Well I've not much money these days and I figured a good way to save $$$s would be to drop the collision/comp coverage on my Lincolns. So I did. Then the building jumped out. So no ins help. Now gotta fix it myself. Gettin a new 'bumper' has been a big problem. Scammers to the left of me liars to the right on FB. Tried ebay. A bit better. Was able to get a "bumper" unpainted. Shop offered to paint it for almost $700. Man that's too much. Decided to install it without the paint. Will be butt ugly. Thinking I might stencil and paint shark teeth on it. Keep the buildings at bay.
Happy holidays and park parallel from now on!
