    Damaged doesn’t appear to be that bad...?

    Did the radiator get busted or something?

    I got rear-ended by a 45-year old woman in a 2006 Toyota Highlander back in March 2015; I have no way of knowing if she was texting, but I'm pretty sure she was...

    Damage was incredibly minor and came to around $1,200 for a new bumper and some paintwork plus labor (note how there is no gap on the driver's side)...

    And that was back when I had the BFGs!

    The sad irony is that five months after I got a brand new bumper courtesy of that woman's insurance company, a drunk old man in a Mercedes ran a stop sign and did this to my truck while I was making a left turn...

    I had a bumper magnet on the back of my truck for the longest time that said "I HAVE GOOD BRAKES. DO YOU HAVE GOOD INSURANCE?"

    Several years ago I got rear ended by some kid on the freeway. Definitely texting, or at least just not paying attention. Traffic slowed fairly quickly in front of me, I hit the brakes. Doofus driving daddy's car didn't before it was too late.

    I didn't bother getting a pic of my truck since I only had a small scratch on my tow hitch. Seriously, no real damage. Kid's car didn't fair so well:
