Somebody cut right in front of me going much slower and POW I clipped the
right front of my front bumper on their left rear bumper.   Fortunately my
bumper was hit right on the bolt holding it on, square in his bumper.  I
will crawl around and look for other damage.

I now will have the pleasure of meeting with insurance companies of AZ :(
We will see how it goes.

One question:
If you had your foot on the brake, braking hard and the force of the hit
caused your foot to come off and hit the firewall, could that additional
stress, stress the braking system and now cause it to fail early?
All parts are less than 3 years old.
