Default Just wrecked

Just wrecked my 05 V6.
Changed lanes and ran right ontop of a guy's lawn mower trailer.
It was not his fault, I just did not see it.
He was very nice, no damage done to his trailer.
He liked my car and said he felt very sorry for me.

Bumper is trashed. Other than that I got off lucky. No other damage that I can see, it is driving fine, radiator is fine.
I got under it as soon as it happened. Going to get it on a lift tonight...............................

Just on the slim chance............
does anyone have a SONIC BLUE front bumper within a couple hundred miles of Lexington KY they will sell?

Which aftermarket bumper fits nice on the V6 body? Anyone out there running an aftermarket front with stock rear and it look okay?

His trailer had no damage. I just took some rust off for him.
No report, no nothing.
My insurance rate is very good! Never a ticket, never an accident.

If he did not want to report - I sure as heck did not!

You could also do a google search for "Take-off" bumper, may get lucky and find one in your colorthat someone doesn't want anymore due to changing their front bumper with an aftermarket.
