New England B.S. Thread

Pulled in to to punch into work. Backed out for a three point move and ran my door along the stop sign and stay right sign and got this . Rocker panel a little messed up.

 

When I had my 09, I was backing up with my son in the backseat. I was on a side walk due to putting gear in my truck from baseball practice. There was a couple folks walking towards my truck, and I felt I needed to pay attention to them. So as I am backing up, I hear a loud crunch, I stop, my son starts to tell me something, and I am like quiet, it’s ok, yada, yada. Because the people walking are getting closer, I decide to back up more, thinking the crunch was a water bottle or something, well the truck didn’t want to move much, but still crunched more. As I stop, my sons says, “it’s the telephone pole dad.” When I got out, he was absolutely correct. So I can say, I hit the same telephone pole twice with in a minute.

 

Had a mile to do this

 

The WTF Was I thinking is always the hardest

 

Crap, I hate it when that happens.
I feel your pain, I did something similar on my RR and a 3" dia. parking post.
It doesn't look like your the first on that sign.

 

Hate when that happens.

Now you don't have to feel bad about taking her in the woods.

 

This is what I hit. Dented my rocker panel as well.

 

Same thing happens when you cut for 35s haha. You realize you're definitely not babying the truck anymore

 

Like this...I also mess around with a little bit of Malted Milk Powder too...It gives waffles and pancakes a "Oh what is that...mmm..."

 

One thing I will tell you...as someone who watches what he eats...Look out for sodium in burrito shells...It can be anywhere from 250mg to 900mg between brands...and I like to eat 2 or 3 and love the 10" big boys...I'll saute shrimp and pulled pork with sweet peppers, pea pods, carrots, cashews, peanuts, diced tomato, rice and shredded mexican cheese with franks red hot or cholula sauce...I also like to pan fry fish to add to them...MMMmm...
Here is an example


And here are some beef brisket soft shell tacos

 

Ask and you shall receive. I dropped a 40ft tall dead pine with the top snapped off onto my Tacoma 4 years ago. Then the end of last year the ladder fell onto it....

 

The ladder I can see, I remember that. Dropping a tree on your truck...

 

More like pulling over a tree in the yard and freaking out instead of just turning out of the way

 

@pitbool99 don't feel too bad. I broke the driver side mirror off my truck at about 3 mph on a trail two years ago.

 

I smashed 3 tail lights on my first Tacoma loading my snowmobile in the bed. Twice in one winter. And then my next Tacoma I finally got a clamshell trailer and I got frustrated backing it up my icy driveway and jackknifed the trailer into the quarter panel, over $3000 damage. Truck had less then 10k miles on it.

 

When I was probably 17 I was dropping a dead poplar out behind my parent's house and had parked my '87 Nissan pickup off roughly 90 degrees from where I expected the tree to fall. Instead, the branches up top got tangled in the trees around it and it ended up rolling over almost exactly 90 degrees to land on the bed rail of my truck. Mashed the bed rail down by about 8-10 inches. But, there was just enough room for me to get a bottle jack under it, so I jacked it back up level a bit at a time while tapping the outside of the bed back into shape with a hammer on a board. By the time I was done, there was just a small wrinkle or two where the bed rail transitioned to the bed side. No real paint damage, surprisingly, and the truck was nothing special anyway.

 

Ouch

 

When I was a senior in high school driving my mkII Jetta I thought I could get up enough speed in reverse to get over the small bank the plow left at the end of the driveway. The car made it over; the front bumper ripped clean off and was stuck in the snow. However, 2 junkyard clips and 2 bolts and a couple bulbs later, I was back in business.

 

Guess I don’t feel too bad now , thanks
