    Bitch'n! Yeah I'm bitch'n.

    Hit and run to my '02 Ford Ranger Friday night 28 February while parked in a very dark parking lot near a car wash. Of course what to expect here in Colorado.

    Witnesses thought only the rear bumper was hit. That would have caused no permanent damage since I built that rear bumper out of a 6” wide steel channel iron.

    Now 2 March in full daylight I can see the extensive damage primarily to the left side of the fiberglass bed. Shredded the left rear fender. Bent in the fiberglass near the cab. Also dinged the paint at the rear left corner of the cab.

    Reported to insurance company. I do have insured motorist coverage and rental car coverage but what a nuisance.

    Wouldn't be so bad but I had to have that same fender fixed from a Home Depot parking lot back in 2015.

    Don't look now, but it looks like he got the forward part of the rim, too. Does it still drive straight?

    Went out and checked. That's a wheel balance weight on the rim. Makes it look bent.

    I'm thinking that entire fiberglass bed side panel is trashed.
