For the record, you didn't say, "animals are not ALWAYS property."

You said, "But you are taking a huge leap saying an "animal" is property."


Yeah, there are strays. But if you don't stop to find out whether or not it was a pet you hit (property), it's a hit and run. And FWIW, it's illegal to hit a pet and leave the scene of the accident.

 

Wow, what a thread this turned out to be.

Firstly, some of you guys really need to chill the hell out here and quit the verbal attacks.....it's not cool and it won't be tolerated.

I personally couldn't even begin to imagine hitting someone's pet with my car and NOT stopping.......but that's another thread entirely and I think this thread has gone off topic enough.

 

Don't be worried about Stardust folks. I'm not sure why he's talking about maxima.org anyway. He got himself banned from there and I basicly ran him off another site he moderated.

What's up Star?

 

Is that bumper cracked really bad? If not, the fix is very simple... our bumpers are urethane, so they can be heated and bent back and repainted. If there's a small fracture, it just needs to be sealed up before the paint, but they need to use a nice, soft material to bond it back together. If it's a huge crack, then it just might be simpler to replace the whole thing.

That really looks like a small crack at the most. A new bumper will run you about $300 and paint. Repairing it shouldn't be even close to that much.
