Don't know what it is but this must have been the week to rear end a
Dak. I was on my way to work yesterday and had a guy in a Grand
Cherokee tap my rear. Bent up his license plate, but fortunately from
what I can tell all it did was shove my bumper down a little. I'll be
taking the bolts out and checking the braces to make sure nothing is
bent tomorrow. Hopefully its just some minor work.

Hey Ed!
Funny about you getting bopped in the backside the other day because
the same thing happened to me. Everyone slammed their brakes on in
front of me, the lady behind me slammed them on when I did, and the guy
in the truck behind her didnt make it in time and pile-drove her right
into my rear end. It's a terrible feeling watching this in the rear
mirror and knowing what's coming and not being able to do anything about
it. Well, she hit me pretty hard, and I was expecting a mushed up
bumper, and that the bumper got shoved into the tailgate. So, I hop out
and look. Her whole nose is demolished (fairly new Cavalier) but
nothing happened to my truck. She hit it square on the hitch and
completely missed the bumper. That $200 some odd dollar tow package
that I got just to help resale looks like a good value now! Patrick
