Smashed my 2013 Today
Ok - so I'm already frustrated at having to have my intercooler swapped out - and the delay in my dealership getting the RIGHT parts in...and now, some idiot crosses 2 lanes of traffic opposite me, crashes a red light - and I plow into him. He got cited - lots of witnesses - but now my new truck is out of commission for yet another reason 
His car is MESSED up - no pics. Mine doesn't look THAT bad, but its bad enough.
I do have to say - the impact wasn't too bad. Almost cushiony. Felt very safe, all things considered...

I hope the pinhead that hit you has insurance! You're a better man that me...I probably would've run the d-b over. The good news, it's all fixable. Here's hoping it is all fixed to your satisfaction...

Yeah - he's got instance and will be fixing it. Just sucks. Was planning on putting that truck to good use this weekend...very glad my girl, her son & I are ok. Shook up, cuz it was pretty intense...and all I can do is go "wow" - that the impact didn't "feel" harder or do more damage to the truck. Be interesting to see what all the shop determines is broken.

Woah s**t! You mark the first 2013 wreck!...not something to be proud of, but it's worth noting. Glad you're ok.
By the looks of it, the whole front end except the driver's fender and driver's headlight will need to be redone. I hate people that run red lights to get there faster. It's bound to happen to me, the amount of times people do that around here.
Maybe now's your opportunity to drop the 2013 grille if it's not your thing...
