That Sucks man, Im still argueing with insurance after i got rear ended about 2 months ago. People need to watch what the F*** they are doing!!!!!

Always leave your hitch in, it saved my bed, but bumper is bye-bye.

Exactly!!!!!! Your truck can be fixed good as new.

Now think about this for a minute:
Why were you there at that time? fate or devine intervention your pick ;)
Why did you decide to pass him just before you came upon the school bus?he was going 10mph under and severing and i wanted to do 10mph over bus was ~10mile ahead of me when i passed him:rofl:

Glad you are alright. Been there...not so long ago. Replaced the stock bumper with this bad boy. If I get hit again, they're definitely going to feel it.

Glad you werent hurt Adam .

As bad as it sucks , you know you saved some kids lives or kept them from injury to say the least . With him being intoxicated , he most likely would have plowed the bus .

The story could have been much different , you following a guy who plowed into a school bus full of kids and killed somebody .

Makes you think about the good in this situation for sure . Im glad you were there to stop him .

Cool man hope you get it all fixed soon. Why don't you try and get a whole repaint for the truck? I would make it as expencive as possible for him/his insurance company.
