How hard must you kick a Cayman's bumper to dent it?

Assuming you are wearing normal shoes with normal soles. Is it possible?

Uhhh, what kind of question is this? Why do you ask?

Is it possible? Yes. One must kick fairly hard...

Hoping that you're not a victim of some type of damage..... (if so, I think vandalism/kicking in is less likely)

Unfortunately someone did indeed kick the bumper of my Cayman with rage while I was sitting in it. I would have gotten out but it was a clearly belligerent man who had taken his shirt off that would have tried to fight me. It is nighttime here so I can't tell if any damage was done but I am so OCD about my car because I love it so much that I am too impatient to wait for daylight so that I can tell if there is a dent or not -.-

Ah, crap... that really sucks and I'm very sorry to hear. People are so obnoxious and inconsiderate these days...

Let's hope that your car is OK. Even if there's a dent in the bumper, it can be easily pulled out with heat in an expert's hands. I know this from personal experience.

Good luck.

I would be furious. Sorry to hear this though, hopefully there isn't any damage in the morning when you can see it better. Post a picture if you can where he kicked it.

That is crazy. You ar a better man than me because I would have gotten out and laid the smackdown on him, but you definitely did the right thing. Nowadays, its better to call the police and file a report. Hope you were able to at least do that.

That's exactly what I was thinking but the other guy's "accidental bump" made me go hmmmm.

I agree that it was the right thing to do. I would've been furious, whipped out of the car, and confronted him with "WTF ARE YOU DOING, A-HOLE?!?!" But... what does that really accomplish other than satisfying the temper? You lose (jail) even if you "win"...

There's got to be a reason why someone kicks your bumper in the first place. This guy's first post is to ask how hard you have to kick a bumper to dent it?

Um, it requires 36lbs of thrust for a foot weighing 6lbs (appx weight of a average sized foot). But the real question is what kind of shoes was the perp. wearing?

I smell a troll..........
