I took my receiver hitch out because I'm scared poopless that I'll back into a parking space and punch it into the nose of some POS little car.

I keep my hitch in cause at the drive-thru of Chick-Fila some retard in a lowered Honda Civic slammed into it. It went thru his mesh speedster grill and when he backed out it ripped it all apart. I just got out to check to see if he did any damage to my truck and when I saw the look on his girlfriend's face, I didnt have the heart to tell him whats up. Plus she was kind of thinking about hopping into the Beige Beast, instead of that little red rocket.

I think the painted bumper is OK. The chrome bumper will probably need replacing. Well, let me correct that...insurance will pay to have the chrome bumper replaced, but I can deal with it.
I am not going to get a DIFFERENT truck, just a DIFFERENT truck. This one is attracting too many incidents.
After all was said and done, I had to back off of the guy in front of me so they could tow him. My tow hooks had hooked up to him, so when I started backing, his car came with me. I turned to the left to try and pry him off and the front of his car started sliding sideways. It was crazy. We had to jump up and down on his bumper to release it. I wanted to leave it on there and just drive around with him attached...the cops wouldn't let me. BOO!
