Default *@$*!@$ scratch!!!!!!

I am so pissed at myself. Was backing my 5x10 cargo trailer and cut too sharply. I was watching out my left mirror trying not to hit another car and didn't get back to my right mirror soon enough. This trailer is so short, it does't take much steering input to jackknife it. The diamond plate on the front of the trailer gouged a nice chunk of paint off my bumper. No buffing this out.

Did I say ?

Man I feel for you. I did it with our 2006 Odyssey within less than 6 months of taking off the dealer lot. Same way except I gouged the bumper cover and dented the side of the van.

I did something similar to my 2010 Lariat last year. I filed a claim buy looking back I should have just paid for it out of pocket...only like $350 to have the front bumper repainted.

damn that sucks man, that can be fixed pretty easy though, at least the bumper did its job and kept it off your quarter panel.
