First Damage in the FIT. Rated PG-13.
This was a dumb mistake. I hit a pole at my work pulling it into the install bay. I couln't see them over the hood. Maybe I should do the American thing and sue Honda for my mistake!!
You might say.... OY!! But it was pretty damn funny
The front bumper is only $143 bucks. And the Foglight assembly is another $143 bucks. Paint is the killer at $250.

No matter how experienced you are, there are always those embarrassing blunders. Goes for ever driver. You might want to claim it under 'Paint peeling off front bumper.' Sorry about the mishap!

I thought the first pic was your hood... I kinda cringed a little. Then I saw it was just the bumper... Whatever happened to those great 80's bumbers? ya know, the dark plastic ones? Where you could hit other cars (or be hit) and not worry too much?

I'm really glad that it wasn't my TL. But I probably would have been able to see the poles from the TL.

Sorry to hear about your blind pole inci-"dent".
My wife was backing out of our driveway (lived here for 15 years now).
She managed to back right into our next door neighbor's mailbox mounted on a wooden base.
Our Honda van back liftgate hit the mailbox suffering about $700 damage to the liftgate and $0 damage to the mailbox.
At least your airbags did not deploy!

I like driving the Fit more with the damage! It's a great conversation starter....
"Wow... That's a cool car! What is that?".....
"Wow... That's a cool car! What the hell did you hit?!"
But.... I'm going to pick up my new bumper today!! I'll be sure to take pictures with the front end apart!

Our mail box is right at the end of the driveway as I back out. I hope I NEVER hit it, cuz it's on a stand of bricks. My luck, it would knock all the bricks down, smash the rear bumper, the neighbors would all come out and wonder what happened, dogs start barking.....and then I'd have to face the wife and explain how I managed to do that......

Doesn't that make you so FURIOUS! Replacing the whole windsheild because of a single high speed rock.
