Some ass in a Pontiac with no license plate backed into me today in a parking lot. He took off and by the time I got backed up and turned around he was long gone. Think its safe to say he got the worse of it after leaving nothing but some paint on my tow hook. Love this truck things a tank!

From the looks of some of the things I see on the road around here, many people don't give a rip about how their vehicle looks or survives, why would they care about any other vehicle?

I have a real heavy solid steel bumper hitch for my boat I leave in all the trucks I have had over the years. I can not even count all the people that have creeped into it at lights. Never damage to me but it ruins their bumper.

yep. my van got saved in a parking lot once by the 6in rise hitch and ball I have in mine. Somebody backed right into it in a parking lot at a speed that would have done some damage to it. instead they got a nice sized divit and I was unscratched

Nothing like a solid piece of steel. I had the HD, diamond plate pattern painted steel one on the back of the work Econoline. I stopped for the red light and he did not. A light scratch on mine. His Caddy grille, and radiator was toast but he tried to drive away. Nope. He was a lawyer, prior DUI, in his wife's Cadillac with his girlfriend and mixed drinks spilled. Justice served. Best wreck I ever had.

its why I keep the extender on my hitch, though it wouldn't of helped me recently.

Some ass backed into my right rear quarter panel earlier this year while I was at the MTB trails. He took off after hitting my jeep. There was a guy in the parking lot who saw the whole thing (smoking a blunt as he later told me.) I apparently rolled up on my MTB like 2-3 min after it happened. He told me he saw a passenger get out of the vehicle that hit mine (before the accident) and get into another car that drove off into the park. That same vehicle with said passenger comes rolling up the dirt road at that very moment....I jump in front of the car and tell them to stop. The kid who was in the car I jumped in front of wont give up his friends name. I tell him thats fine, but I have this car's license plate, his first name, this drivers first name and the cops are on their way. The kid is obviously high as F@#$. Kid gives up his friend about 2 minutes after the cops get there. About ten minutes after that, the car that hit mine rolls in, dad yelling at his son and super apologetic.

A funny side note...the blunt smoking witness was some OG gangster guy, full prison tattoos reading things like F%$# cops, helter skelter ect.... He is in bilateral leg braces and crutches. He actually called the cops for me before I even got there. He tells me he almost didn't do it because he got that way after being in a shoot out with the cops years ago!

I've never been in a fender bender where the other party actually got out of the vehicle afterwards. Spilled drinks, dropped cigs, whatever, they just want the encounter over. Has always been fine by me (ish) for reasons everyone else here knows - keep the ball on the hitch! lol.
