    This is why you replace the plastic bumper with a real bumper. This guy hit me and didn't even have insurance.

    After this I am sooooo glad I didn't go with a tube bumper......
    I was able to get a non-insured driver off the road with minimal damage.......

    I don't think there could be one more practical thing you could've had on the back to screw up his car :laugh:

    It gets even better. When he hit me he was doing anywhere between 20 or 30 he pushed me into the car in front of me hitting it with just a tap. I have a Warn front bumper also with a winch that has a thimble on the front and it had a mark on it from the impact. I was making sure the guy was OK behind me and the guy I hit in front of me drove off. As I was talking to the cops and they were asking me the description of the car in front of me (that I couldn't remember too good) and then I realized my go pro was running the whole time. (I run it 24/7 in front of my mirror). So many wins with this situation it wasn't even funny, Oh did I mention that my insurance turn out to only have a $100 deductible for uninsured motorist. Score again.

    Way to CYA! I'm still laughing, evil I know but I can't help it. Look to the side of the Saturn emblem, you can see the hole where your hitch impaled that dude.

    I think you may be right with that assumption. He said he didn't have a phone and also said he didn't have anyone to call when I offered mine. No skid marks and he actually came across two lanes of traffic when he hit me. I saw him coming from my mirror as I was stopped and I think I just stood on the brake when I knew there was about to be an impact.

    I think the hitch tore his hood off. You can see my passenger d-ring impression in his hood pretty well.

    Just curious if your frame received any damage? I figure the energy need to go somewhere.

    Nice FJ!!!
