A guy in a round-about didn't have his lights on and I didn't see him. My passenger didn't see him either, but he claims they were on.... 

He had just come out of a store with a well lit parking lot, so I don't think he realized they were off.

Ouch. Well at least your in good shape. Body work fixable, humans not so easily fixable.

Man, that sucks.  

I once rear ended the MINES Registrar and destroyed the rear hatch of her Subaru... It was while I was a student there.  Thankfully, she didn't try to destroy my academic life.

 

The good news is, that those are all easily replaced.  You didn't hit your cab or your door.  You just have to rehang a new junk yard fender.  Hoods, fenders, and bumpers are easy to paint.  Hopefully you still have a pint or so to do touchup.  

 

I think my dad has a new bumper in the barn if you need one.

That sounds horrible! I haven't hit anyone at school, and I haven't been hit by another student yet. 

 

I'm sure they will use new parts.... I don't have time to do this one myself. Luckily the guy who painted the truck works at a dealership (Body and sometimes paint) and I trust him with it so I should be okay. 

 

I might have to take you up on the bumper offer.... I'm not buying a new one though. She's getting a replacement this time!

Got the quote today. Right at $3,000 to put it back together. 
 
On a lighter note I took it to Bandimere Speedway. 
I was in the right lane both times, and the guy in the left had a 2014 Mega cab that was deleted and had EFI. 
Not too bad for a college kid's tow truck / DD

Pretty good numbers there.

A little practice on the tree and you can definitely knock off a bit more time.

Boosted launch?
