have you ever wrecked it? Yes - Twice. Once I was rear-ended by a Toyota Corolla (she scratched my trailer hitch and later caused me to have shoulder surgery). The second time (I was still recovering from back surgery) was when I was cutoff by a little pink tuner (I later found out who she was, but didn't do me any good). Rather than swerve onto the sidewalk and kill all the pedestrians, I rear-ended an SUV. His trailer ball took out my radiator. I can honestly state that crumple-zones work.
