I don't see any damage pics in any of your PUBLIC albums. It might be set to private.

I can't see your Dam photos either!

I hit a filled garbage bag on the highway once, pretty scary, a mattress would be much worse. So far my 2010 is still mint though, knock on wood!

Thanks for the pictures! I especially enjoyed seeing the progession at the Hoover Dam, as we were there a few years ago.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by your damage! Not as bad as I pictured, and for sure not as bad as it could have been.

Glad you made it back up North, and hope the repair goes perfect!

While disheartening, the damage was much less than I expected. Thanks for the pics!

Yikes, time for a new bumper, I hope they colour match it right! Maybe while it's all mangled you can see how those fog light covers are mounted inside the bumper?
You take nice pictures, especially the Before Mattress shots.

Not that I'd wish it upon anyone, but I thought there would be much much more damage than that. I think you got out very lucky.

Did you actually drive OVER the box spring (or mattress) and not lose control?
