Well, I know she's strong

I been using this truck as a pickup should be used but recently, my lucks been running out...
I hit a Tiburon this morning and never felt a thing! Seems as though I only got a little clearcoat transfer on my bumper but i really gave it to the whole left side of the tiburon! The lady I hit was cool as hell and we swapped info and got a police report.
But wait, there's more. The cop gave me a ticket as it was my fault for taking a left on a yellow light as the tiburon was punching it through the yellow to go striaght. The good news is, that if i go to court and plead innocent (for a minor moving violation w/o intent to harm) they'll dismiss the case since I have insurance.
The pics of the rear show where I backed into a 2 ft high pole in a parking garage. I have since bought the AutoPark 2000!!!
The other shows where I ripped the hanger off the right exhaust pipe when off roading!

Jeez, for what appears to be fairly minor damage to your truck, you sure did a number on that car!

Thats funny, never even saw you. I would have waved!
It happened right around 9am at Johnson Ferry/Merridian Mark...50 yards from work!

The crazy thing is, is that all I felt was the ABS kicking in. Seriously, if she would have kept on driving, I would have never known and thought it was just a close call. GO GO TITAN!

You know, it almost looks like the XE plastic bumper is stronger than the SE and LE metal chrome ones. There was someone else on here that hit his front bumper and ripped the plastic corner off and dented the bumper pretty good. You look like you can fix it with a buffing wheel!

Shouldn't be too bad. I need to have her detailed after the last camping trip so I'll see what they can do with the bumper. It did burn though the paint on the corner edge but with a good wash/wax job it may not even be noticeable. I may just leave it if the repair estimate doesn't require replacing any parts undernieth the plastic. Being a 2004 model vehicle, it would be a shame to leave it that way but with a $500 deductable...

Dealer wanted $500 to replace the bumper. I found a body shop that will charge me $50 if I take it off and bring it to them. shop around!
