About a year ago, I'm backing out of a parking spot (mind you I'm only doing 2 or 3 MPH)in my '94 9000 CSE, and I hit the front bumper of a big GM pickup truck. I figure that there would be no damage, other than a slight spot of green paint on his bumper and chrome on mine. Imagine my surprise when we looked and his bumper was bent! The CSE of course suffered no damage whatsoever. Cost me $550 to fix his car, but I was astonished.
