Pheww! My mom's 92 Toyota Corrolla (265k miles) died about 3 miles from the house, one road, but the road is 3 miles long. The alternator died. My dad and I tried to jump it, but it wouldnt hold the charge..decided to for the Galant to push the Corolla. I was hesitant at first, didnt want to break my bumper, but we put seat cushions hanging out of the trunk. I pushed the car for 3 miles at about 40mph. I was surprised that it wasnt straining the engine much and no dents to my front bumper. Surprised of the car! It was only a corrolla, but it didn't take much effort! haha! And we didn't need to tow the car!!

Moral of the story...there isnt one...just wanted to share the story!

good job chris...and yea i'd check for internal damage too, this could be an opportunity to get ur parents to get u a new front end cuz it got "damaged" from all the pushing hahaha

I was parked at work right in front of a light post.I usually pull out going forward, but i forgot i was in front of a lightpost.So i put it in drive, and press the gas pretty good...Bam!! i hit it, i reverse, and look at the bumper, but it did nothing and i mean, NOTHING to the front bumper cover.Also,someone once reversed into me, and it didnt do anythingOur front end is pretty flexible i guess.

[MitsuMan]

its made of oem urethane, anyone thats taken the bumper off before knows how durable it is, however, doesnt really last well in a higher speed accident

I actually checked my front end earlier tonight and there wasnt a scratch on it! I was afraid I'd crack the bumper, but its like new! (not quite...I hate those dam curbs...we wont get into that... )

[MitsuMan]

those curbs are a night mare, have u ever seen a galant flying through the air?, no....not a VR4

Ya, the one that fell on my foot when I was clearing out my lights! That's one solid bumper,... just ask my big toe

[bstnsportsfan]

Know the small plastic bolts that hold the bumper to the car? they are on the sides under the bumper? its like an L bracket? I broke the one on the drivers side from hitting one of those big concrete blocks in front of parking spaces! I just said "fuck" and backed up a few inches. Thats when I first got the car

I've had a couple of folks back into the galant and never had a dent just a little scratch of the paint though
