I got rearended twice now. Both times they plowed my receiver hitch and went under the bumper. The both tore out the radiator, bumper, front fascia and grill. I got a little antifreeze on my bumper. Its nice to be higher than the ricers.....

I almost ran under a truck like yours in my Saturn because I was hydroplaning. Scared the crap outta me! BTW my car does not have anti lock brakes.

My composite outer-tailgate panel was replaced. I saw the damaged one out back. There was only a small 2x3" weakened area.

My hood too... It could have been repaired... (dented up like someone threw a couple of softballs at it or something, but it too was sitting out next to the dumpster.

i got hit from behind in my school parking lot today, she was going like 8 mph or so, and hit my right side of the bumper while i was at a stop, luckily i dont have roll pan. It shifted the bumper to the right about a 1/4 inch or maybe a little more. Her front bumper was dented in and jacked. i let it slide because it wasnt a big deal. I polished the paint scratches out with chrome polish. Ill just loosen the bolts and re-align the bumper.

but my truck dosent feel as "pure" as it use to

but, thats why they make the bumper sticker.

**** happens.

Im a little pissed, but no big deal.

Man some people are stupid. If she couldn't see your big truck, she could have easily hit a little kid. Also I have an update in my case. It isn't pretty, the check they sent me was about 25% of the total needed to repair my truck. Some of the damage was completely ignored. I have a bad feeling my truck will never be the same again. Big insurance companies charge me out the *** and when I need something done they **** on me. I'm hiring a lawyer.

Damn, Deckhand that sucks. At least it was minor damage. Hey was the girl pretty? If she was I would have made her an offer she couldn't refuse , oh well. The same thing happened to my truck and I felt the same way, she wasn't pure anymore . Like you said: **** Happens. CashDudeHomie, 25%????? I'd be so mad I don't know what I would do.
Lawer - maybe.
"Say hello to my little friend" - probably.
Ask for a favor from my friend's uncle thats been in a mexican jail for the last 15 years - surely.
Send me those pictures when you get a chance.
