Which reminds me, If you're a truck driver SIGNAL YOUR ****ING RIGHT TURNS IF YOU'RE TAKING IT FROM THE STRAIGHT LANE. I almost shat myself the other day, truck driver got pissed at me when I went into the turn lane and blasted his horn, ****ing wasn't even signaling and he flipped me off. So I gave him a not-so-friendly hello over the PA and told him top go back to drivers ed.

This is the very reason I am getting a collision camera for all of my vehicles.

Cop looked at both vehicles and said, "There appears to only be minor damage to both vehicles. I hope it isn't too bad for you." I told him I paid less for my truck than she will for her bumper, and he laughed.

This is one of the reasons I armored up. Everyone tends to stay a good distance away when you running plate bumpers.

My front has survived a few tree knocks, a steel fence post and a side swipe, the rear was unharmed by a 40mph glance. Dude went under my rear bumper and the bottom of mine opened his fender up like a can opener

My front "bumper" is 2x4 box steel (I think 3/16") welded between the unirails. The bumper isn't scratched, but the rail is crumpled behind it right where Barney's was.
