Thumbs down Bad day!

Got rearended after work today, I was turning right waiting for traffic to go by when some idiot in a Honda Ridgline (not even a real truck) hit me from behind. Now I need a new bumber, and my nice light up hitch cover I got for Christmas got smashed.

I hope it was not your 79. The others SGI will fix. The 79 they will be tempted to right it off. Either way it sucks.
Yesterday I nearly had a headon with a Cadillac Escalade. He pulled out to pass a small car as I was going to work. We passed each other by a foot. My highway has too mant jerks on it. They constantly keep playing Chicken. That is one game I do not want to play.
I will tell you it sure scared me how fast it happened. The idiot never even swung back into his lane once he realise I was there.

It's not the '79, It's the '07. Makes me just as mad though!

Looks like it's just the bumper, made me even more mad that he was laughing about it. He looked at his rigdeline and said there was no damage, then I had a look!! His whole front plastic was full of thin cracks!! I think it would cost more to repair his truck (I use that term loosly for his truck) than mine. Now I will have to put off my heavy trailer road test till my truck is fixed, might have wrecked my trailer plug. I should have had my reciver hintch in!!!

Mine too Warren. Accidents happen, but but to laugh about them after, when the guy that YOU hit is standing there, is brave.

Our honda has been rear ended a few times now, I can tell you, if they get bumped into, they "break" They dont break much, but there is always damage that needs to be fixed. They arent invincible!
