I hit a short bus, lol.

It was raining and the back end kicked out coming around a corner. Countersteered, but still bumped it at <5 mph. Just left a little paint on the bus, hopefully they won't even file a claim. :o

Good excuse to go get a mazdaspeed bumper?

I hit the bus at less than 5 miles per hour. I didn't take the turn at less than 5 miles per hour. :P

It was raining, though. I know what it takes to kick the rear end out on this car, and I was nowhere near it. Must have been some oil or something.

I hate to see that you put damage on the car...that always sucks. But at least you turned it into a positive with the new bumper! And lmk if you want to replace the amber side markers. I've got a set that are brand new that I don't need...just sitting in a drawer. That is if you don't want to go to the clear markers
