All I wanted for Christmas Were my 2 Front Teeth

Well I got a whole new grille instead. Let my back up a bit.

I had a wee fender bender on the 15th of this month. I rear-ended a Ford F-150 truck. I think there is more damage to the other truck than mine. The bumper and driver's side quarter panel were damaged. There might have been a bit of frame damage. I had $1000 of damage to my truck. All of the damage was luckily contained to the front bumper and grille. Not a scratch on the paint. My truck didn't want to start when I wanted to move it off the road at the accident. Apparently the force of the impact knocked my distributor plug wire off. I had to call in the police and they towed it away. I've been using my parent's mini van for the past couple of weeks. I thought it was good on gas, quickly found out it's not. I did have to pay $15 over my deductible due to rust on my bumper. I've never seen the Mazda emblem shine before. I guess I'll be paying for it later.
