Angry Backed into a carpet trailer!

Well guys, I got in a fender bender.


more like a tailgate bender. i was backin out of my friend's driveway, and i had to avoid three trucks. between it being 9 30 at night, and my windows tinted, and the trailer painted dark red, i didnt see it at all and ran right into it. my bumper is crooked, my tailgate is completely dented in, and will barely open.

Just priced a painted used tailgate for my son's '05. $540. Would be way cheaper if you can find one all ready red...
