    So today I was cruising down the street on my lunch break from wonderful Autozone.....
    When all of a sudden BAM!!! A like OLD Honda Accord decided it would be a wonderful Idea to see what the underside of my truck looked like.

    He got up close and personal let me say

    I just spent 250 YESTERDAY putting the dual exhaust on there as well :puke:

    It didnt do much to my truck though. 3 inches of lift and him nose diving under my truck alls it did was mess the exhaust up and bang the rear bumper up so I guess I came out on top...

    Sure hope he has insurance.

    His insurance pays for your aftermarket bumper. Silver lining?

    I get the feeling this isn't his first rear end collision... Ask me how I know. Lol

    Dude, trucks with receiver hitches FTW :D

    I should buy the hitch portion myself for that very reason!

    Haha, actually no, I've never had this happen to me. At least it be this sever. Mine was a bumper bumper... Lol If that can sound out correctly in your mind.

    I would have walked out and laughed shook my head a little, grabbed his info and laughed a little more as I drove off. Good job on the accident bud :D

    I love watching these sort of accidents when it involves the rear end of a truck. hahaha.

    I watched it unfold in my rear view. Held my brakes just so I wouldn't hit the Acura MDX in front of me. Dont need the air bags popping out. I did laugh as I drove off and laughed again as I drove back by when I seen the tow truck.
