Barely 4 weeks after delivery. Dead stop in a left turn arrow lane. Guy behind me stops. All of a sudden I feel a jolt as if I accidentally took my foot off the clutch and it stalled.

I realize I'm hit and jumped out. A Russian dude gets out and apologizes--says his foot slipped off the brake. 2010 Highlander. Bumper cover is a bit messed up, don't see any damage below. But 800 miles, WTF?

Silver lining. The weekend after I picked up the beast from the dealer I noticed indentations in the rear bumper as if somebody bashed me in the garage, or maybe they were there when I picked her up. In any event I'll get a new bumper cover, and the body shop I use is nonpareil. Pristine bumper again.
