4Runner Accident!
The roads were pretty icy this morning and I was idling at a light and all of a sudden.. BOOM.. I get rear ended by a tiny ford escort. Poor thing didn't stand a chance against my runner. My tow hitch practically totaled the poor girls' car. I got out and almost laughed. I couldnt even tell that my runner was hit. Thank god everyone was okay... with the exception of the escort. I'm glad I decided to put my tow hitch back on last month after i repainted it. Otherwise my brand new chrome bumpers would have been in sad shape.

I was driving into work last week in the lovely I-5 traffic. I was at a stop then I got rear-ended by a Mercurry Mountaineer. My tow hitch saved my bumper as well. I will never drive with out my hitch on from now on because people can't drive.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I used to feel hesitant about having my tow hitch on without a bumper since the receiver sticks out of the back of my truck like a harpoon ready to skewer littler cars. But it's the idiot who wasn't looking's fault if they get skewered, they deserve it...
