Default Got rear ended today

Yep, was coming up to a stop sign and something told me to give the car in front of me some extra space so I did and then about 2-3 seconds before getting hit, something told me to look up so I did. I don't remember saying anything really right before I got hit but my friend said I said "Oh ****" then we heard the tires squeal, felt a little bump, and heard all the crumbling of metal. I am seriously not afraid of getting rear ended by cars anymore because it felt like a little kid pushed me from behind. The damage to the truck was just some paint from their hood rubbing on the tailgate and the bumper was pushed down a little, gained 2 more dents and some red paint. The trailer hitch took the brunt of the impact which for it was just some added red paint but nothing else. The car on the other hand...well I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. Thankfully no one was hurt especially the dudes wife who is 6 months pregnant. She was pretty cool, the dude was in shock for awhile, it was entertaining. My friend and I kept on cracking jokes about it as time went on, we thought it was kinda funny since very little damage was done to my truck.

But enough talk, here's pictures.

Erm, that was just a bit of a mis-match....... Mr. Import should have picked someone smaller to try and drive over. Or, someone bigger to try and drive under?

Was he chatting on his cell phone by any chance?

Oh, I see. So. When is some safety group going to get up in arms about talking to wives in your car, and sart outlawing that? Am I going to have to turn off my wife when she gets in the car?

Sometimes, I wouldn't really mind that.........

I didn't really type that. Nope. Wasn't me. I love my wife.
