The paint is a dead giveaway that it was DHL. He sure delivered you a package you didn't want.

You got that right. As now I have to deal with getting quotes and get the insurance money to fix it.

That sucks...it doesnt look that bad and Im sure his van was worse...these bumpers are pretty heavy duty. The same thing happened to me except I was parked and some biotch who was parked next to me was backing out (parknig spaces were at an angle) and she hit the bumper of my truck. Her explorer was 10x worse that mine and all I had wrong was a chip in the paint.

The bumper looks fine just the pait on it and maybe a scuff mark on the top rubberish plastic its that little dent to the body just below the tail light that gets me more than anything and yse his van had alot more damge than my truck It just proves FORD Tough Chevy weak.

Me too once. That sucks man, but not really "wrecked" just "damaged."

Oh yeah, on a side note, we sold the old Roush tonight. Mine got sold the day before.

Looks like you going to get a nice check....Heck I'd clean the bumper off with some polish and have the dent taken care of.

Get or give?
He was backing out and struck the vehicle with right of way. Doesn't matter how fast the other guy was going (within reason), a vehicle moving out of a parking space must yield to a vehicle on the roadway.
