That's WHY she drives the truck and not my car. At least with the truck she has a better chance of winning

Lets get this straight, fenders are on the front, bed sides (on trucks) quarter panels (on cars) in the rear. If it needs repaired, $750+. If it needs replaced $1500+, more if you have the bed lined.

My wife ran my quad into the side of my 1 month old Mega Cab. Caved in the rear bed panel.

Ended up about $1800.00 for a new skin, paint & misc.
Luckily she was ok but

You mean you were not SO conecerned with her safety afterwards that you did not ****** her up as forcefully as possible to hold her very close so that you could glare into here eyes and ask with the deepest voice known to man if she was OK?

I would have...


I in no way condone physically or verbally abusing women. Just thought it would be an act of God to restrain myself though if my woman not only crushed in the side of my Brand new truck but prolly caused significant damage to the quad as well.

Ohh I was furious for about 10 seconds until I heard her crying. Trucks and quads can be fixed. No real damage to the quad. Insurance covered it except for the $100.00 deductible. Now I have something else to give her hell about.

Come on guys...

these are some really kool trucks but remember, they are just material things and something material getting damaged is small stuff. Don't sweat the small stuff! I bought my '97 CTD FOR my 17 year old darling BLONDE daughter to drive. When I was teaching her to drive, we were in a church parking lot practicing backing up (in a PT Cruiser) when, all of a sudden the back end of the car was up on the curb. "What were you doing?!! Why did you back up onto the curb. Were'nt you watching were you were going?" "Well, I couldn't see..." Followed by the If you can't see, you can't go lecture...
Later she confessed that she was "just backing up and hoping for the best..."

Well we worked on her driving skill for over a year before I allowed her to get her license but even so I wanted her in something that could hold it's own if it got tangled up with a SUV.

As much as I love my truck, I want everyone in my life to know that if they were trapped in a burning building without windows or a door they could get to, to stand clear of the wall cause there will be a big CTD crashing thru!
