Amen Brother, I was there and felt like patrol was calling everyone off Northface & Blockbuster when I got to them. Freefall & Bailout were no exception either. WORDS OF THE DAYILLOWS & COTTON CANDY...with the occasional rock candy by the end of the day

You should have just bought a roll of 200 mph duct tape Scotty, saved your $ for skiing!

How the hell did you manage that? Were you distracted by Mary Jane? Looks like more than bumper damage.

A couple of screws would probably hold that in place....and once so affixed, I think would pass NYS Inspection with flying colors as long as your lights are still functioning.

Bumpers aren't even on the list, and I've passed with worse. The shop might deem it 'unsafe' in an effort to get you to pay for it though.

I'd make it look a little more pretty and professional, and take it in. Also, if your regular mechanic will do the inspection... they're usually pretty accommodating, especially if you regularly spend money there on maintenance.

Had a nice day at Platty last Friday - 15 dollar day. Starting to get thin in spots though. The snow making trails should ski nicely till close.

Glad you had a great day at Platty.

Car is going to a trusted mechanic who is a correction officer full time, and works PT on people car, the great thing about him is he only charges cost in parts, and his labor is very very reasonable. It kind coming off the whole side, that picture is as bad as the car is. Also need other stuff done hopefully less then a grand or I be scrambling for money. Car going in tomorrow, hopefully I get back by next week. I sure the guy will love Mary Jane smell that in the seats, got to car wash tonight.

I was on my way to my Sister's wedding on Block Island, I got pulled over for speeding, the trooper called me out of the car from behind my car, when I got back there I told the cop I would be picking up a bumper cover to replace the one missing on my return trip home, he said that he was going to ticket me for that and not give me a speeding ticket. I didn't question whether this was a legit ticket, it sure beat a speeding ticket. Coolest cop I'd ever encountered. I asked him how fast I could go, he said he pulls people over for 75 mph and above, but warned me that others weren't so lenient. I told him I'd slow down, he just laughed and said, "You'll get pulled over again." I didn't, but my radar detector was going off constantly in CT. He was instant-oning his, they almost never do. He said, "The Cherokee was speeding too, but you were going faster, you were the "winner"."

I had a similar incident while on my motorcycle when I was in my early twenties. I was riding with a buddy of mine, he's since died in a motorcycle accident, and he took off, I got on it to catch up, we both get pulled over. The cop acknowledged that I was just trying to keep up with my buddy. He says, "Your helmet doesn't have reflective tape on it, it will when you go to court." I was so naive, I explained that the factory decals were reflective, he repeated what he'd said. Boing, oh, I get it, no speeding ticket, no reflective tape ticket instead.
