    Damn and those rims fit that flair nicely.I came back from a crash and it fkn sucked.insurance called it totaled and gave me $1200 after I argued them up from $700.I took it to help buy the bed and had to spend from the pocket for the rest.now I hardly take the truck in fear of somebody hitting me again.

    Man that sucks! Good luck with the insurance!

    Probably the worst thing about getting hit is the flashbacks! When I was rear ended I watched it all happen in my mirror and ever since then when people come up from behind it makes me cringe.. Atleast I didn't have to fix much and got a decent amount from it

    bummer dude sorry to hear :-/ I guess its a risk we take riding these minis so low, people just over look us.

    Ive literally been rear-ended and backed into 4 times, twice in a drive-thru and twice parked in a parking spot. Im just fortunate my bumpers have been the ones to take the blow and not any of my panels.

    Yea I does suck and I cringe when people fly up on my ass at a light too definitely not the first time I've been hit just glad it was a car and not a truck hitting me. Been T boned by f350 with a trailer of stone and a flatbed loaded down and had a full size dodge rear end me and ended up on top of my bed and tailgate as if I were a tow truck so this one is nothing compared to the others but I'll probably have to get a lawyer by the time this is over

    That's some bummer stories. I've been backed into at gas stations, and am almost crashed into all the time. People look right over these tiny trucks.

    You can also do what I do when tail gaters don't take a brake check warning. Huck a handful of broken spark plug ceramic out the window behind you. If their windshield survives they're lucky :lol:
