Left work this morning was stopped. Truck in front of me decides to back up. I lay on the horn go to no avail and now my bumper has a fat hole in it.

So that's three hits now since I'm keeping track.

1. Deer tush on the fender...
2. My hand smashing a dent into the trunk lid
3. Trailer ball into my front bumper...

Give GM credit the bumper and crumple zone is big on this car as the radiator is fine.

What were you doing in the trunk?

Oh the damn trunk wouldn't close...so my hands were full and I slammed it only to hear metal buckling underneath my palm.
Sounded much like a beer can you crush. 3 times I tried to make it close...then WHAM !

$750 for a new bumper...this car is maybe worth 1/3rd that and I'm being generous...lol.

Waiting to hear back from insurance company.
