Lost mine to the Repo Man... I miss my truck... I'm happy to be in another SD but, it's no where near the coolness factor my 08 was.

Leaving my truck in the driveway, wife backed into it the next morning. Eh, I needed a new rear bumper anyways.
That makes 2 of my trucks she has backed into in the driveway if anyone is counting.....

Took my prior vehicle (tahoe) into the auto carwash at the gas station, parked slighly off center. Machine hit my driver's mirror on by on first pass. lowered window to try flip it back. Got a face full of soap, gave up, closed window...

Machine ripped mirror off on it's next pass.

NEVER taking my ex through a machine, the sd platform seems way too big.

Know i know how to install the '08+ tow mirrors on the excursion.

I sometimes wish I got a long bed. But those times are few and far between. Most of the time I love my short bed.

How big an object does it need to be for you wife to notice it as she's backing up?? Does she just get in, facing forward, put it reverse, squeeze her eyes shut, and mash the gas to the floor?
