Default Bumper Cover/Protector Question

I am so pissed off! I go to work this morning and find sumone squeezed their car behind my car. And yes theyre bumper was on my ***. They scratched and chipped paint off my bumper and I havent had the car for more than 2 weeks from getting painted. Ima track them down cuz they fixin it but thats another story.

Basically Im gonna look into a front bra for the car, but what about the rear? Ive seen ppl pull out rear bumper covers that drops from the trunk. Has anyone seen this or know where to get them? Or would a clear bra protect it from scratches and future @$$holes like that idiot.

If you're going to order - buy two 'rear' pads. Only the rear's have the security straps.

A couple quick notes -

~ These things are NOT waterproof.
~ They often attract un-wanted attention - ie tourists & thieves.

I have seen ppl who street park their cars have make-shift buffers using large sponges and wire. I personally only use the bumper pads when I make quick stops - never overnight. It would suck to spend $100+ on these things just to have someone cut the straps and steal em.

Keep a set of medium to large "Channel locks" or "Robo grips" in your car. And the next person who bump-checks your car, go under it and crimp their tranny line or unscrew the oil drain to just where its about to fall out....road vibrations will take care of the rest.

Its evil, but you'll feel better about the new scratches and dings in your car.

Eye for and Eye.

LoL you know what my friend said to do? He said to jack the car up on one side and steal the persons tires. Then slash the other set of tires. Then he said to put alkaselzer in the gas tank along with water. Last thing is to put doo doo under the door handles so they get a surprise. lol yea he's crazy.

i dont get the alkaselzer part...i imagine that would hurt, but not as much as sugar. how about this, keep a bottle of nail polish remover in your car and the next car that does it to you, put it on their car, my friend said it would remove car paint..or carry a spray paint can in ur car...

man, if you did major damage you'd just be another major douche.

A valve stem removal tool is all you need. You don't want to do permanent damage to someone else's ride, just **** them off and frustrate them.
