As has been discovered already "yes, this is my winter snow tire setup". The one indentation I agree can and should be able to be popped out but as to the bumber??? Well, can scuffs on a plastic bumper be buffed out or does it need to be replaced. I know the bumper is a pretty large piece and figured it will be expensive. I must say the kid "well, late 20's" was very apoligetic and wants to pay for the damage out of his pocket to save his insurance rates. That's ok with me just so it's all as it was.

As far as stability of this car, I swerved to the shoulder and probably saved a harder impact but the car stayed controlled and stable, no fishtail that I remember.
