Yeah it does.

you can see that I had just about stopped or pretty much stopped all the way and then you hear the banging from the car behind me which pushed me into the truck in front of me.


It knocked the plastic trim piece off the bumper. The light bar and light bar mounts is what took the hit. It’s amazing the light bar wasn’t broken. Just knocked the mounts off the bar. No problem in the rear as I had the large hitch in the back.

I knew the car behind me was coming quick and that’s why you did not hear my tires squeal because I was lightly hitting the brakes and doing just enough to not hit the car in front of me. Right before the impact you can hear the car behind me slam on the brakes and screech until they hit my hitch.

I’ll put it on the rack when I get home later this week and check it out myself. I’m going to get some quotes and see if the insurance man will just cut me a check because I don’t want and I don’t like people working on my stuff.

Then theres the liability you have without being a certified mechanic.

Did you end up using a can opener to get your door open?

Funny! Got jokes? The plastic car behind had a hitch puncture in the front and the chev had slightly dented bumper and tailgate. My recycled Coors body donated by CP and company is great!
