the only thing worse than getting your truck f'ed up is f'ing it up yourself. glad it's not too bad. it makes you sick doesn't it?

heartbreaker would just be the tip of the iceberg with me. I almost ran across this myself a couple of weeks ago. I brought my truck into the shop after work one night to put on a factory hitch. I was trying to line it up on the 2 post lift, the kind that are in the ground and lift from there. Anyways, I ran at it pretty hard, and not square and kicked out the far leg on the pass. side and it knocked into a trans support (big 35 pound hunk of steel) and an oil drain unit. I was holding my breath for what seemed like 5 minutes while I watched both of them sway. I was very lucky that neither one hit my truck, they both fell the opposite way. I would be livid, at fault or not.

Thats why i would hate to get a new truck.. my 2000 has plent of dents, scratches, chipped, welll you get the picture..

Had two friends wrestling while i was changing the oil in my truck, and one picked the other up and slammed him into my passenger side bed, right above the tire. Its got a nice dent, and they have several bruises and cuts from where i whooped them up pretty bad with a broken mop handle. They better be glad i couldnt find a 1/2" breaker bar, or a hammer..

Well it doesnt seem as bad now, cause i took it off road during my vacation to tow the skis to a cove..... goin pretty crazy offroad, so i really think that once i get through all of the newly aquired dirt, there may be a few new scratches.

oh well i came to the realization, that at the end of the day "it's a truck" so hell with it a lil scratch here and there wont kill me

I was pulling into the garage one night, and cut the corner too sharp and ran into my propane grill I keep on the side of the house. Put a three foot scratch down to the sheet metal. Had to get the left rear side of the bed completely repainted.
