A Ford F250's trailer hitch took out my front end when he suddenly stopped and I didn't quite. Any advice re bodyshops, paint matching, etc?

Can you spell tailgating lol

TCH-43mpg
VW TDI--48
08 LS 600 HL-20
08 LX 470-16

That's too bad. Wish I had some advice for you, but I'm looking for a bit of repair myself. I had a run-in with a high curb.

No no no, in this community it's called "drafting" not "tailgating". Disclaimer: I do not endorse or encourage the technique of drafting in any way shape or form.

I had someone crash into my gold-colored TCH while I was parked. This was on the right rear, the plastic bumper piece only. Some of the paint was scraped off down to the black plastic. It was going to cost something like $686 to fix, based on the quote from the body shop. I just got some touch-up paint and had the guy kick me a couple hundred bucks to ignore it. It looks passable. It was kinda a bummer because the car was only 4 months old at the time. But I figure a year from now it will have door-dings all over the place. YMMV.

Hmmmmm. One of those drivers?
