...you were close enough to a tree that a nail protruding from it scratched your bumper? Wow... Anyways, is the scratch through the paint to the plastic?

Guess it depends on how bad the scratch is, something that can be buffed, or is it going to be a lot more...sorry I'm PUI'n I can give you some better info tomorrow, just about to go to bed.

If it was new-ish then it would bother me, but it has character now! Body damage is cool.
