I did have the thought that "someone else is at fault here".
Then I smacked the rebar down with a hammer, looked around for some little
clips that might belong to me, lying on the ground, and got back in my car.
I have a "normal" parking place, here at the "mailbox pod" where folks in
my area get their mail.

Someone was in "my" spot, and I pulled in to a different spot, and ...
crunch. If I had stopped and had a look when I couldn't back off easily, I
probably could have flexed something and saved my plastic car parts from
damage.
I think I've probably ground off some of the plastic against the road. I
suppose a crawl under this Saturday, with some duct tape and baling wire.
I did glance under there, thinking I might remove it instead of tying it
up. Because it's a hybrid, there is a lot of plastic under there, probably
more than other Civics.
