If you look at weather reports for upstate NY (my zip code 13148), you will see that we had a bad winter storm today. Everyone on the road including myself were travelling probably no faster than 20 or 25 in a 45 MPH speed zone. Well today I was driving my 2006 Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor. I ALWAYS make these VERY slow turtle turns in adverse weather conditions so that I don’t slide badly. A lot of cars today were sliding like crazy. I was even sliding at slow speeds but it wasn’t that bad as long as you drove slowly. Well, I made a left hand turn on to 2 lanes (I proceeded to go in the slow lane and travel slowly since I had all season tires and not winter tires) and my baby started sliding ...I was confident that I would be able to manage her since I was only going 10MPH…however there was a car coming in the left lane, so I attempted to drive my car into the Dunkin Donuts parking lot and turn back out versus staying on the road and risking the possibility of hitting the car on the left of me just incase my car wanted to slide in the direction of the car on my left. If there wasn’t a car next to me I would have been able to fix my sliding problem since I would have more room. Anyway, my turn wasn’t that great LOL, I drove into a snow bank at the Dunkin Donuts entrance. It was SUCH a SOFT hit if you know what I mean. It’s almost like the hit wasn’t even noticeable. I was able to back up and leave with no problem. However, when I went outside this evening I happened to notice a bang on my bumper, I said WTF…I said crap, that probably happened when I drove into the snow bank.
PLEASE SEE THE VIDEO I POSTED (THE LINK IS BELOW). IT SHOWS THE MINOR DAMAGE. My question is trying to figure out how I can repair the damage. It doesn’t look that bad, but in my own opinion, it feels like I will have to go get a whole new bumper but maybe not. Hopefully someone on here can give me a recommendation. If the video isn’t clear, let me know and I will try making another video. If you have yahoo messenger, Please IM me at gmanzari0038 or just leave me an answer here. Please no rude comments. I’m a little stressed I banged it up like that considering that I paid $13K for the car and only had t since October.

I’m only 21 - never had an accident in my life and this just upsets me - I can’t undo the damage. PLEASE HELP!
