Tough news man, hopefully it won\'t be too expensive to fix.

I thought I was going to have a heart attack today. Going down Brimley just south of Sheppard in the left lane, they did some work on the road a couple of weeks ago. Today as I was driving southbound I noticed a big bulge sticking up in the new asphalt. I thought for sure I was going to bottom out on it. Luckily it wasn\'t \'that\' high but I almost soiled myself because I couldn\'t do anything except drive over it..... Toronto roads suck...

Definitely peed off... \"I shoulda ****en went to MOM instead of picking up my in-laws!!!\"

J/K!!!!!!!!

Have you gotten any responses from shops on how much it is to repair? What\'s the present status of your car? Driving around with a gaping hole in your bumper? Guy in front of you must be blind... that or the tailpipe came out of the car in front of his.

So sorry to hear about that tho, what is it with our 3\'s and getting beat up like this... :(
