    So i towed a trailer today. it was pretty big so i was proud of my little truck. Here it is:

    But then i was backing up trying to avoid a piece of rebar that was sticking up out of the ground and i wasnt watching the trailer and this happened:

    I am so pissed about it!!! What should i do just leave it and get over it, or should i try to knock it back out?

    You could try to knock it out yourself. If you screw it up, just grab one from a junk yard or do what the other guys said.

    I dinged mine once but not as bad and was able to knock most of it out so you could hardly tell what happened.. I'd say give it a try ..
