What a wonderful forum this is.
...lol...In that case plan ahead...Change it out now to what you want, and keep your original stuff as a back-up in just in case...

....I know what you're saying...When's a good time to replace the front from all the normal road-damage....Wait for an accident and it will never happen...put on the stuff you want, and you will have an accident...lol...

Well the way you wrote your post, you sounded like a jerk wishing you had tried to take advantage of insurance, not someone joking around. You sound immature

After letting my heart come back into my chest I was having second thoughts. If i would have let my car "tap" that jack*** I could have:

1) got a new Aggressor Bumper
2) had my bumper (with two irritating rock chips) repainted
3) changed my halogens to RS headlights

etc etc etc...

Was there anything in your OP that "somewhat" sounded like fun? The English language can be peculiar and can take on many different perspectives depending on 1.) your audience 2.) your approach on the subject matter 3) how well you define what type of response you're looking for.

If your goal was to have fun with this, you certainly didn't indicate that in you're OP. There are always lessons to be learned, hopefully you'll find a way to create that "aura" in your next thread. ...yes, emoticons can be your friend

Just what we need...more accidents in camaros, give the insurance companies reason to raise their rates even more.

I can see how it could be misconstrued. I see posts in here when someone crashes or something breaks saying "good time to upgrade". I was more going along those lines.

Uhhhh... good thing it wasn't your first thought. As others have said, you would come out as the loser - big time!

Now... if you are sitting somewhere and a car is about to back into your frontend - you may want to sit there quietly and wait for it.

man, get your heads out of your asses guys. he merely was thinking "hey, had i had an incident then i would have had proper excuse to upgrade". if you think for once you've never had a similar thought, you're just not a car guy.
