Hey guys, thought id tell you about my excitement this past sunday evening. I was headed home from work and got rear ended. Luckily the only thing that was hit was the bumper! It's one of those old ugly white things with the two wing tips on the sides. I had a little ricer nose up under neath of me and twisted it all out of shape. Ill post some pics of it here soon. Those wing tips managed to save my bed corner panels from being mushed in and the bumper itself saved me from finding a new tailgate! Got lucky on this one, oh yeah, im okay too

More later!

The exact same thing happened to me about 20 years ago when I had a 69 C/10 Custom. The little Dodge Colt had to be towed away. My truck just lost a little loose rust. I had a sore head from hitting it on the back glass but I was OK.

Maybe that's what's been wrong wit me all these years!
