Default Tc's are magic!

I backed my Tc into a concrete column backing out of parkin space. Made a Big a.ss dent corner of rear bumper and white paint scratches . Next day dent was gone. Only scrached up now. So feel free to slam right into the next dork that cuts u off. On a serious note can anyone recommend a good body shop in the Miami FtLauderdale area.

Well the bumper is made of polyurethane so if you put a dent in it and not a hole you can apply heat i.e. a heat gun and it will pop right out. What probably happened is you parked you car in the sun and it heated up then POOF!! You bumper popped back into it's original shape. As hot as it has been you could have been in the shade. lol

that would have been sweet to see it pop out. then you could have said, "dang, this car is taking car of itself, what will the japanese come up with next?"

same happened to me... but the lady was pregnant... and hardly spoke any english... (not a big thing but deff. didn't help) she went nuts calling in everyone and the kitchen sink... any other person and they would have said, "no harm no foul" and we would have gone on our way... butttt......it ended up taking like 40 mins of standing in the rain and then the officer gave me my information back and said have a good day...

not very hard. whats funny is that when I got home I rembered thinking it wasnt as bad as it looked at first,so it was allready starting to pop out. I guess only good thing about the infernal 100 degree miami heat is it cooks out dents.
