    Yep I’ve recently learned that a crushed bumper can total a car, there’s thousands of dollars of electronics in there somehow, it’s insane. I miss that car.

      that’s totaling from an insurance perspective, not from a repairability perspective. if somehow your bumper cost more than like 70% of the car’s value then you had a decently old car which would have required very specific parts to fix.
