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.

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.
