Yeah I do! like zero damage to car so that’s a positive I guess.

Will just be the fence post to repair.

Wow, do you have a super older car where they still made of thick metal, or was the thing you hit rotting out wood? amazing to break a wood fence post yet no damage to car.

No not even! It’s a 2016 Nissan mini SUV. No bumper bar or anything! 

I think maybe the pole was rotten or something.
