parts hording due to deer and stupid drivers

Where I am at, there is an abundance of bad drivers and wild roaming deer.
And considering how rare the car is ( lol- I am not going to get into the numbers game), I am hording body parts just in case of an accident.
Here's my inventory so far: New hood, scoop, grill, trunklid with tail, all rear lights and a spare sunroof glass piece. I figure I have the bumper cover left and I will be good. The fenders , front lights and doors are not turbo specific, so I am not bothering with those.
Paranoid- no- car lover- yes.

Deer from the front, back by a dumb driver. But I have seen pics of a deer being hit in the front and sliding THROUGH the car and taking out the front/rear windows and the trunklid. The inside was just full of blood everywhere.

at least we don't have to worry about you getting rid of your car in the near future

Me too. Just buy a small backyard shed and fill it up.

My wife said I can keep the whole cars in the backyard and the parts in the garage...but only if I built or bought some nice shelving units. So I built them...and a workbench...and an entertainment center for my bedroom....and a fort for my kids. (fort is off the chain!)
Can't you keep an engine in your kitchen?

Yes, I thought that was standard practice for spare EJ22t's... (Steve?)

I may be getting a new bumper due to my collision. If that's the case, I'll have a bumper in excellent condition with a couple minor scrapes on it

Curious where you are sourcing the bumper from being new? AND price if you don't mind?
