eclectic assortment of cars

Two minutes with a pair of tin snips and you're done. Have you tried using a more...persuasive tool (hammer) to bend it back?

Yes- its made it much louder so I bent it back! I guess a rock got in there and bent it up but I can't stand the scraping noise one more second!
