Hahaha, in my defense I should add that all those incidents were unintentional. I didn't even call my insurance company after the last incident, they would sooner write it off than repair it at this point, so I gave up on repairing the cosmetic damage and now my bumper is held together with gorilla tape.

You're a beast dude.

The Yaris is a tough little car. I've only gotten one pigeon with mine, but i did have a rather nasty encounter with a rock while on a 7500 mile Euro road trip last year. Bumper was being held on with cable ties and duct tape. I needed a donor front end, front bumper, splash tray.




I drove it 20,000 miles like that. Took me a week to fix it up new. Insurance would have written it off in a second. I hope to get another 10 years out of my 4 wheeled blue turd.
