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.
