Just because there is a metal bar on my truck doesnt mean you can hit it

    yup. why hog 2 spaces ? tacomas fit in one. leave yer butt out, or find a new place to
    park and use your feet/crutches/wheelchair/assistant to go the extra yards

    I would have bumped it too maybe...you got a big tough bar on the front so harden up and take a hit
    isn't that the statement that bar makes anyway ?

    If that were my truck with my plate bumper I would have no qualms putting that bitch in 1st and goosing the throttle. That would piss me off to no end. And i don't think its fleeing the scene of an accident when they hit you first.

    So because he parked in 2 spaces it means someone can damage his truck without reprocussions?

    That's the real reason plate bumpers are on my wish list. Although another inch or two of lift and you could of had his grill.

    bumpers are for bumping...you really need to bring a lot of 30 packs
    to convince any law officer to do a write-up for minor parking lot nudge damage
    to bumpers. especially if one has a set of bars...made for...wait for it...bumping

    notice in my sig I violate the hell out of that parking space, and I do cry at night thinking about it :D

    Exactly. He was over the line a couple inches, therefore smash into his junk. OR, well the bar send the statement, "I have a tough bar thing, hit me." I don't know where people come up with this ha. Dudes taking four spots irk me, so I'll park really close to them so they have to climb through, but in no way, shape, or form does it permit me to smash into their car, stell tubing or not. . .

    Steel bumpers are for when you smash into boulders and junk off road. I don't see that making it okay for people to smash into them in a parking lot.
    Your logic is derpitied up.
    You're stock "bumpers" are for "bumping" yes?

    They are for bumping. But bumpers are not a parking block.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    [​IMG] People are so stupid it's actually not unbelievable anymore. They can't drive OR park without hitting everything in sight. Pathetic.

    Title says "Just because there is a metal bar on my truck doesn't mean you can hit it."

    Dude replies "There is a metal bar on your truck so people can hit it."

    :rolleyes:

    This thread is all win. There is no such thing as an okay time or place to hit a vehicle with your own IMO.


    Although I sure do feel like ramming people off the road on a regular basis.

    Your exactly that person that parked against OP's truck... And it's not the fact that there might be a little scratch, it's the fact that someone would do that period.

    Just another person who could care less about anyone else...
