Default Hit at a Red light

I was sitting at a red light. When out of the corner of my eye I see a pickup coming at me in my rear view. The truck didn't even look like it was trying to slow down. Which of course it wasn't, apparently the guy driving was texting. The only good news is it looks like the rear bumper was the only thing damaged.

The metal piece is what went right through my bumper.

Ouch man, that sucks but glad it was nothing too bad and you're ok. When I'm at a red light, I look at my rear view mirror a lot. Never know when an idiot like that comes around and just rear ends you. Time for bumper mod!

Sorry to hear about that. At least it didn't involve any injuries. Good excuse to mod.

Wish we could do something about crappy drivers; like all the others said, maybe time to upgrade your rear bumper! I just had someone go into my door yesterday, and was wishing it was the rear bumper they hit. I really would like the gt500 rear!

Are you psychic or something? Yeah I'm probably going with the CS bumper as it's on my mod list anyway. https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...do-list-2.html

It should be $1000 fine for texting while driving.....that's just stupid sh#t. Glad the damage was minor.

A lot of damage can be hiding under that bumper cover...be sure to check for sure.
