Truck got rear ended today

[Scuba]

Leaving school round 12:30 at an extremely busy intersection today I had to stop so as to not continue into the intersection and block it ( had a green light but didn't want to block the intersection). Low and behold some bro decides to not pay attention well enough and rear end my Tacoma. He had his Hyundai elantra full with him and 4 passengers and I even heard him say to one of his friends "yeah dude I was looking back at that mercedes..."

Anyway, my truck didn't have a scratch. With the bobbed bed I have an extra 2X2 cross member welded in right under the tailgate. That and the shackles make a pretty good make shift bumper :hillbilly:... Funny how I'm about to buy materials for a rear bumper tomorrow.
Anyway, on to the carnage :

"hi, insurance adjuster man, look at my truck, the impact made the of my truck a foot shorter, and the bumper was completely disappeared. I think I need to have a complete overhaul. and disregard the "chicks dig body damage" sticker, somebody else put it on there, it wasn't me.

Glad to hear that no one got hurt.

With as many accidents as you have, you should keep a stack of "Chicks Dig Body Damage" stickers in your glovebox to hand out after the accident.

Not with a Valid DOD sticker on the windshield and a Valid DOD ID card in my wallet.
Truck is under my mothers name, she can choose to keep the vehicle registered wherever she would like, federal law.

Rear bumper build started today.
