New Vehicle Blues!

I seem to always have this dilema. Buy a new vehicle try and keep it nice and someone else decides to run into it. :mad:

Coming home from work I had a minivan and a hyundai try to fit themselves under the back side of my truck. The adjustable reciever peeled the minivans engine compartment open like a can opener and my rear bumper met their windshield. Their airbags deployed and everyone was fine. The cars hit me at a claimed 40 mph while I was stopped. Chevy venture minivan and hyundai sonata got towed. Dodge Ram CTD drove home.

The reciever is bent at a 45% angle and the frame horns gave but hopefully the frame itself is alright. Bumper survived with just a little scratch but I had my 52'' long custom r/c boat in the bed and it looks like it imploded! Hoping the people who hit me's insurance covers it.

Going to have to put a chevy and hyundai sticker on the truck with crossbones next to them now. (2 down )
