Hey thats one of those damn little "Smart" cars. Seen one of those the other day and they look top-heavy to start with. I'd say if it stayed on that little car is laying on its side somewhere. Thats why I drive a PSD.

Like the quote Jeremy! LOL

Today was going good until I just ran to Wally World and Sams. How the heck can Wally World be out of syn oil???????? Spent way too much money as usual though. The drive home was the scary part. Just missed getting tboned by about 3 seconds, scared the crap out of me. I stopped and everyone was fine, thank god. Got back on my way, was stopped at the next intersection and I noticed the car behind me wasnt slowing down. Damn women was talking on her phone and putting eyeliner on. She finally noticed the big red truck in front of her and finally hit the brakes, not quick enough though. The only damage to big red is alittle white paint on my hitch. She has a good amount front end damage though.

I was about to kill her after I found out she was okay. Nothing pisses me off more than some stupid women on her phone and putting on make-up as she drives. She had the nerve to tell the cop she wasnt on her phone or putting on make-up. One of the witnesses backed up my story.

On a side note, the cop loved my truck. He said he has a 2000 F250 7.3!!

Hope everyone's drive home is easier than mine was!!!!

sister, we gotta get you a train horn. It may not have saved you this particular instance, but from now on you can drive around town waging war on stupid chicks putting on makeup while they drive.

Glad everyone is okay and that the truck wasn't damaged. If that were me I'd be so hot you could cook an egg on my head.

Glad you and the kids are ok, Cris. Even though it doesn't seem like you have damage I'd still have the truck checked out and make her pay for it. You never know what could be bent or broken down there.

I was the only one in the truck, the girls were at school. If they would have been there they would have wanted me to roll coal on the lady as we left They love it when mommy smokes people

I am sure the truck is fine, the truck only moved a little.

I wouldve been on last night and caught up on all this but I was to busy with trying to get ebay to change my email address. I had to switch to Gmail since i canceld my verizon DIAL-UP. It kept wanting me to enter my credit card info so I got on the live help and was trying to "calmly" dicuss this problem and tell them I was not giving them my credit card info. That didnt work out to well. Got a message about profane language. HA HA HA! Anyways they said it was because it was a free email site. BS!..I went in and created a new account using the Gmail email address without any mention of a credit card. You could tell the person I was talking to didnt speak good english by the way they were typing. Anybody else ever had this problem? Anyways enough with this rant. Thanks for listening. Sorry for any spelling mistakes, I'm just still mad about this crap!Oh yeah and being a chicken pecker and being pissed off typing doesnt really work out to well.

My rear hitch has taken some pretty good jolts over the years with zero damage to my truck, but lots of damage to whatever has hit me. Kinda funny really. Here is a rear shot of the same idiot. I think he's Canadian, any of you have the software to pull that license plate up close? Do you think someone really drove this like it shows here. There aren't even any side straps. I don't know what's wrong with people anymore.

I think the official term for applying cosmetics while driving is FARDING...... a train horn can't halt stupidity.....and the reason to always keep a hitch in the receiver is to punch the radiator of anyone who rearends you.... and they wonder why I made one shaped like a bayonet.....

That's why I leave mine on the truck all the time. I've ruined a few grills and radiators over the years. Believe it or not, the worst hit I took on the hitch was my old Bronco was hit in a parking lot when i wasn't even in it. I saw the gal pull up and smack the truck, it wiggled quite a bit and she back out and drove off. Didn't hurt the truck at all but her car was leaking green fluid as she left...

I don't use those things. I've got a ranch hand heavy duty replacement rear bumper. I was convinced I broke my leg in 132 places when I walked around the back of a friends truck when those first came out without looking down. I swore off those things then.

I have been rear ended 4 times with this bumper (low speed) with no issues for my truck.
