went to move the van yesterday, backed in to hook up, possibly a bit quicker than usual, done it a million times so she'll be right
"BANG" followed by a "pop"......Hmm! that don't sound right, went and had a look, yep put half the van's receiver socket and adjusting bolt through my bumper, a fraction left of the ball right next to a reversing sensor as a famous man once said "missed by that much!" hooked up the van and moved it, leaving the car attached, then went inside to talk to the insurance, 2 quotes please got our panel beater out for a nose, damage cursory assessed at "around" $600......new bumper of course and painting with possibly a new sensor by this time a couple of hours had passed....went back out unhooked the van, hit the remote button to unlock the car, nothing happened, went to start the vehicle absolutely dead except for a couple of clicks a feller, who happens to be around my size, left the fridge in the van switched to 12 volt and it drained my battery......call the RAA for a jump start and thankfully, all is sweet now dagnabbit......some days it just pays to leave vans and cars alone
