They don't build em' like they used to!!!

Was picking up some milk at the local convenience store this evening when a guy come in asking who owned the old dodge truck. I told him it was mine and he proceeded to tell me that he had slid into my truck in the icy parking lot.

Went outside to asses the damage, the impact had barely wiped the road grime off my rear bumper but probably did about 1500 in damage to his new ford. There were pieces of his bumper all over the ground.

Just one more reason to drive a truck that is not built of plastic!!!

God I love these trucks.

Ever notice how the stock 2nd gen front bumpers bend so easily causing the aft part to tilt 'down"? haha oh well don't fix it if it ain't broke.

Yeah, nice to see someone was honest enough to not just bugger off. That and it's nice to hear your truck fared well

My truck bumper didn't fare so well when I gently backed into the bucket of the nice new 972 Cat loader parked behind me. 6" to the right and I would have missed it too lol
