Default Ruff ride Saturday night

I am driving home, Saturday night, and messing around with my friend with is modified T-Bird. He just put a 2003 Mach 1 engine into 95 T-bird and I wanted to see who was faster. Well the road were slick enough that nether of us could get tracking, so we gave up. A few mins from home, we make a right turn at normal speeds. He goes around normal well, my rear end comes around. This is nothing new, so I steer and let my feet of the gas so with we correct it self, but it didn’t. The car is now 90deg from where I want it to be, then I start roll toward the side of the road while I still sliding sideways. Right before I hit the curb I straighten the wheel out. I go over the curt and I touch a little “No parking” sign. The dam thing is just shacking a little. **** at what just happened I go home. I start hand buffing out marks on the Right side of my front bumper (note: I made a right turn). I buff all the marks off the front of the bumper but a can’t get a, 1in wide 3in long, white mark off in area that on top of the bumper and below the head light. After further inspection I find that the plastic bent to form a crease and the mark is the damage to the paint from the crease. How is the bumper so weak that it damage from a 1 mph bump with a poll that gives when the front part of the bumper doesn’t even have a chip in the paint. I am so mad, even two days later. I am going to stop by a body shop tonight that I know and see how much this will to fix. I hope that they can buff it out. I have a feeling that they going to need to spray some new paint down.

I rear ended a car with no damage to my bumper... They are actually quite strong, Depends on the object you hit I guess.

They have to melt it back into place, then bake it hard, sand it, and repaint it
but since I know the guy and paying cash it only going to cost me $200 and another hundred for other touches ups around the car.
