Had a minor fender bender today.

So, the kid got rearended today in the 86 MJ. He's fine it just bent the bumper down but no body damage or anything else. The bumper was already bent a little so it wasn't perfect. I'm not too worried about it but I can't decide whether to play the nice guy it's Christmas time and let it go or should I play the grinch and try to get a new bumper out of it. OEM would be nice but would not be found so I would have to go with an aftermarket. FEY's run about $125. Is it worth the hassle because really, I wouldn't get a new bumper and would just pocket the cash. It's dark so don't tell me, :needpics:

 

:dunno:

No I'm not making my kid pay up. I was refering to the person that hit him. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a nice guy but I'm leaving it up to him to take care of. Afterall he is an adult now. Sometimes good karma goes a long way.

Here's a pic.

 

 

Like I said, it was already bent some so it's no big deal. The drop hitch actually saved it from being worse. It has two bars on the back of it which tie into the frame. Had thought about removing it several times but didn't. Anyhow, he decided to be nice and let them off the hook for any damages.

I had an FEY bumper. It looked nice but rusted out in about 2 years. In Michigan you can collect $450.00 from the person who was at fault. It's called Mini-torte(sp?). We have no fault insurance and it's supose to cover your deductable or out of pocket expenses. Insurance companies will pay the mini-torte if you have a rider on your insurance. I didn't know that until I had to fork out $450.00 on top of paying the deductable for my own repairs.
