I Was Washing My Car and Didn't Like What I Found.

Nr!qUe · 04-30-2009, 06:18 PM

Today i was washing my car and noticed that I got a nasty scrape on the driver side of the front bumper.

I think that some rock or something hit the bumper while i was on the highway. Anyone else have any thoughts?

SoCali E36 · 04-30-2009, 06:36 PM

MCMLXXXIX · 04-30-2009, 06:36 PM

Probably a fox.

J3 L U N T · 04-30-2009, 07:05 PM

someone backed into you probably. looks like my car a few months back.

canucklion · 04-30-2009, 07:07 PM

a beaver

roadkillrob · 04-30-2009, 07:19 PM

I think someone backed into you, or you hit something pretty big that you would have probably noticed!

1N54E92 · 04-30-2009, 07:21 PM

Beaver ? eagle ? I love that commercial.. LOL... too funny..

More like a small piece of tire ?

Nr!qUe · 04-30-2009, 07:47 PM

You know what? I think it was a piece of tire now that i remember. I don't think it was anybody that backed into me because the area that is affected doesn't seem to be exposed to that possibility. The area is not as exposed as higher up on the bumper. It curves in.

blue2fire · 04-30-2009, 07:52 PM

It was a Badger, sorry.

I had the exact same thing happen to be on my previous car...an E90...it was due to a sign flying around on the road (maybe like a "for sale" sign or something)...it looked harmless when it hit the front of my car, but since I was traveling at around 60mph, it made similar marks.
