yea these trucks are tough. just like the slogan. i plowed down a deer at 50mph and kept goin because i was afraid to look. all it did was bent the bumper back and buckled it a little. i hooked it up to a tree and put the truck in reverse to pull it back out.

Keep a clear head and a sharp eye as that whole idiot family will probably jump out in front of you as pedestrians.

Let me get this straight...She rear ends you, leaves damage on your truck (although you didn't notice it right away) and leaves the scene?

Did you tell her to leave or just get back in her car?
The fact he laughs and she takes the offensive stance right away would pi$$ me off but to leave the scene would prompt a phone call to the cops. I'm not so sure I wouldn't call them now, anyway.

These people live deep, deep in the cranberry bogs or what?

no i told her to get in her car and drive far far away. in wisconsin you are still at 10% fault in a rear end hit. but i was at a dead stop waiting for a woman and a little girl to walk by me and boom. plain as day i get hit. and the lady walking saw it so i knew i would not have been at that 10% fault. and my bumper was so dented up to begin with thats why i really didnt care about 1 more dent. so i just told her to leave.
and TJ yes this is the mother to the kid in the red car i hit before. whats the odds? lol

She'll remember you every time she looks at the front of her car and I bet she steers clear of you.

Just think of the damage that you could have done if you had one of those "Buckstop bumpers" that Arron found. Damage would probably be non-existant to your truck and that laughing boy would be in a body bag.

I almost nailed a guy today, going south on hwy 69 in texas. A toyota POS car was passing a pickup comming up the far side of the hill (bad move in ANY vehicle) so he crests the hill only to see my front end comming the other way at 70mph. I thought he was toast but somehow he was able to make it back into the other lane in time. Bad drivers frustrate me greatly

Glad to hear everyone in all your fender benders made it out ok Mitch...that other car looks pretty rough
