I know this is probably a year late, but FWIW, a friend of mine used to drive tow truck. He told me never to buy a bull bar or push bar for my vehicles, because in his experience they cause much more damage to the structure of the vehicle when it is in an accident than without a bull bar.

I would save my money and just fix the existing damage.

Stony Brook is crawling with deer so it’s 20 mph for the whopping 1.1 mile commute for us ( Ms Abscates to the Hospital, me to the train station in winter )

A hospital! What is it?

Unfortunately that 2004 XC90 T6 was totaled out a few years ago and replaced with another 1stgen Volvo XC90. She loved her Volvo XC90 T6 so much that I literally searched for over a year to find a well-maintained XC90 replacement. We purchased a 2008 Black Volvo XC90 V8 model and she loves this just as much as her gold T6 model.
