i hate mail boxes
it was just one of those things, you just wouldnt think about.....
i worked all day saturday moving a 12,000lbs building and digging with a back how...i picked up the girl friend and as a man showed her the huge back hoe we rented from a buddy....well i was backing out of my neighbors driveway as a car was coming so gassed it a little and took out his dual mail boxes..that had to be metal...they dented and scratched all the way down my tail gate! it sucks! i was sooo mad and it is just one of those dumbass things you cant avoid...it was dark, window tint, last thing i thought about was a mail box!
so i went to one of my friends who owns a body shop down the rd from my house....$250 to take out the 7 dents and scrapes and repaint the trail gate....and he is also going to paint the black rim of my new LED tail lights with the matching paint and install the new lights for me.
i will take before and after pics!
BTW: i felt like a retard fixing his mail box at 8am sunday morning...new screws...redone the whole and everything....i leveled it back about 15 ft and tour 6 screws out of a wooden block....haha it sucks!

When I was 17 I bought my first suburban, within two weeks of owning it I smacked the front fender into a concrete/metal pole at a gas station as I was backing up.. it stayed that way the entire five years I owned that truck

Look on the bright side. The mailbox moved when you hit it.
I did this to a Ford F-550 about 6 years ago, this sucker didn't move at all!![:@]The air bags didn't deploy and it hurt like hell with no seat belt on. I was in a hurry and the Wife and I were flying out to Ottawa Canada that night for Christmas. Yes I caught my flight 3 hours after these picture were taken. Very painfull hollidays!! And I won't even tell you about the Snowmobile accident I had while I was there[:@][:@][:@]
