Default Just my luck

So I was laying on my couch watching a movie and heard a loud smash/crunch/bang, whatever you want to call it.. I assumed it was just a toy slide from my sons mountain of toys upstairs until I started to receive phone calls from people I don normally get calls from. This is what I walked out the door to find..
It's not all that bad I guess but the girl driving the neon failed a sobriety test and went away in handcuffs..

Yeah, I've been trying to decide what bumper I like. I'd like something stubby so the flat flares don't look so goofy but I'm having trouble making a decision.

Forgot to mention that she pushed the jeep forward about 15 feet and over the curb onto the sidewalk.

I've had my eyes on this one for a while. Full width but doesn't wrap around. Have a few other things to buy first though. Body Armor JK-2961 - Body Armor 4x4 Rear Base Bumper for 07-13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

The state trooper said it wasn't alcohol but the local cop said he was looking for her earlier for possible DUI.

I like that bumper. I'm gonna wait and see how much her ins co is going to pay and ill use that towards something.

I really think it would take more than alcohol to hit an orange crush JK. She even managed to hit it square lol. At least nobody was hurt

She hit her steering wheel I think. Her air bags didnt go off but she also drove pretty much under the bumper.

man that sucks! but, it looks to me like the exterior of the jeep held up pretty well. Hopefully there is not other damage that we can't see in the pics. She had to hit that BRIGHT ORANGE traffic cone pretty dang hard to push it 15 feet.

Just happy everyone is safe!
