Ripped of my bumper!
Last night I backed out of an empty lot and went over a pretty steep divit in the ground and basically ripped my bumper almost completely off.. Luckily the majority of the bumper is just snaps.. I couldn't really tell the extent of the damage because it was very dark but it looks repairable and I drove home without any serious issues... The only bad this was y fender liner was rubbing on my tire once I got on the highway and I'm pretty sure that my fog lights ripped right off of the mounting points

I'm gonna snap some pics when I get home.. I've been dreading seeing the damage in the daylight all day..
And yeah basically a trench that runs along the road for some ungodly reason

Well. There wasn't much to take pics of because I had pretty much already fixed it last night to drive home.. The only thing that was actually holding the bumper on were the 4 little plastic clips that are under the hood.. And I would say that when it was off the bottom of the bumper was probably 6 or 7 inches forward from how it's supposed to be..
So basically all clips aside from the ones under the good broke.. My fender liner on my driver side (which was already messed up) rubbed against the wheel the whole way home an melted a good portion of it from friction.. Used about a 1/2 dozen zip ties and a knife to hack away some of my liner and she's good as new..
Also I noticed my plastidip was chipped/peeling in a couple spots so I peeled it all off.. Now I'm back to my plain Jane GE8 silvers
Almost forgot: one of the fog light ripped out of the little tab on the bumper but it's fixed.. And the other fog light bulb literally snapped in half lol so looks like I need new fog bulbs
