Instincts Take Over And...
So I was leaving the parking garage at my gym the other morning and this ditzy girl failed to look behind her when backing out of her parking spot. Instead of letting her back into me (like I should have), I swerved left and ended up kissing a concrete pilliar head on.
I am VERY impressed with the way the truck handled the impact, I was only going 5-7 mph, but all of the damage was cosmetic, so pretty much everything from the radiator support forward needs to be replaced, not bad considering.

Ouch. Maybe it's just me, but that's a lot of damage for only going 5-7 mph.

Tell me about it, hind sight is alway 20/20. She probably would have only hit my siderails.
There was no structural damage, all cosmetic, I am very happy about that!

Before and After....$6300 in damage ugh! The shop said replacement parts were a nightmare. My insurance company wasn't too upset, I have had USAA for 7 years and this was my first claim.
