As most of you may know, I sorta had a little accident with my car, tearing up my front bumper... if not, see link below

Well, on my way to work today, I'm cruisin' doing 85 on the interstate, everything is fine... when I get off, I'm about 2 miles from my office, I hear this subtle scrape sound... it sounded just as if I had scraped my bumper, but I hadn't hit any dips and nothing was in the road... I keep truckin' along... now the scrape has returned, and it's not going away.
I was f***ing dragging my front bumper!!!!
The center of my bumper (between the two posts, where the grill is) had broken away on one side and was being dragged on the road... how shitty is that?!
I go into the office, pretty damn upset, and start searching for anything I can use to hold it together. I have an internship for the Tennessee Society of CPA's, and I run to the local banks everyday, dropping off deposits, so I'm going to have to take my car out around noon.
I couldn't find any duct tape or anything... but I did find this shiny silver stuff (kinda like duct tape) in the closet next to the water heater... I tested it out, and damn, this stuff isn't gonna come off if I put it on there... I just need it to hold until this weekend when we finish fixing my bumper. I'm just happy it didn't occur while I was on the interstate, or it would have ripped the whole thing off (including my fog lights)... then again, the wires may have held the fog lights on, so I would have been throwing sparks on the entire 30 mile drive to work!
And the damn Veilside logo/stamp are going to have to be sanded down and fiberglassed over, so I won't have those anymore... what's the point of having the authentic if you can't show it!?
If you haven't seen my pictures, here they are...
