Wife hit a pole....

[OR VietVet]

I told her if she she wants it painted to match she can pay for it.
Otherwise it stays how it is until I can find a Craigslist/Marketplace steel bumper.
This isn't the first time she has done this. Six months ago she backed into a pole and smashed the rear bumper. And a year before that, she crunched the factory step bars because she was tired of waiting in the drive-thru at Starbucks...and drove off a foot and a half curb.

That light assembly looks tweaked too and has some other scratches around there. She needs to figure out that daily driving is not "bumper cars".

Isn't that the Bermuda Blue?

Yes... not so easy or cheap to paint match

You would think at 43 she would have that figured out already

Ever wind up behind someone who appears to be unable to choose a lane on a two-lane road?
There are already FAR too many licensed drivers who INSTINCTIVELY drive in two lanes at once by default.

Lmk if that lower light is messed up. I have a brand new one you can have--but I'm not sure which side it is.

I will take a look after work. Appreciate the offer!

Yes. And, she always asks why I look at them when I pass. She doesn't like when I say I want to see if they look as stupid as they drive.

 

[Marky Dissod]

In a strange way, she has a point.
Be grateful you managed to pass, at least some part of their brains is capable of enough reasoning and spatial awareness to let you pass.
An old and very dear friend of mine INSTINCTIVELY drives down two-lanes in both lanes at once.
She SAYS that if someone tried to pass, she'd TRY to allow them to pass her.
She'll always be a dear friend, but I wonder what her rate of failure to allowing a pass is.

If I ever wind up behind her minivan on the Interboro Parkway or the Williamsburg Bridge with my Tahoe,
I wonder where she'll successfully let me pass ... ?

Not the Bermuda Blue paint!!!
(I have the same color on my 05 Z71)

At least it wasn’t on a body line or fender … not that it makes it sting any less

At least she hit a Pole and wasn't dancing on it!!
