Well guys...to start off, I was on my way to the bank. I thought it was gonna be like any other day not seeing a single dent. I got to the bank and saw a dent, so I popped open my glovebox cause I usually keep my camera there for when I do see one. Crap it wasnt there! I had been taking pics of my truck yesterday. Anyway I didn't get a pic of that one but it was a 79 Ranger and it sounded healthy when he drove off. So I then left the bank and I was off to Home Depot. Went in to get a couple things and when I came out there was a 73-77 dent staring at me. It was a camper special and I was thinking, just my luck two dents in a day and I don't have my camera! So I went home to drop off the supplies I bought. Needless to say I grabbed my camera for the slight chance I might see another one. Today's trash day, so I like riding around and look for scrap. Well I didn't pick up any but I saw 5 MORE DENTS!!! I couldn't believe it! 7 in one day!! I never saw any, MAYBE one or two a month until last Friday! I've seen 10 in 5 days!!
But enough gibber gabber here's the pics.

Sorry for the super crappy pic. This was in the parking lot of my work. I didn't have time to get a better one. I was supposed to be clocking in as I was walking in and barely had time to get this one.

This elderly gentleman and his wife were out for a cruise, don't think they are locals I would have recognized them. I was in my 78 and he gave me a thumbs up, phone pics sucks sorry.
This was the other truck and he was tailgating me....
He was pretty close....

I tried to convince him to buy a ford but he wouldn't listen to me. He had his heart set on that style chevy. Whatever. He doesn't have his license yet so I drive it everywhere.

Out on the route the other morning:
Me: "Is that what I think it is?"
Kid: "I'll back up so you can get a picture."
Unfortunately it was too dark to get a good pic and we didn't want to shine headlights into any windows and 3:30 a.m.
I had to run out and get a part half way across town yesterday, not for the Dent, my wife's XJ. I spotted at least 6 Dents, some of them real nice. I was so tied up dodging traffic that I didn't manage to get one of them. Including one I've been trying to get a pic of for ages but I know where it lives now.
