    Usually do! But for whatever reason that was the spot I chose when I first into the neighborhood. It’s been my ride or die spot ever since.

    So you left it there for the uncaring cart person to move from close proximity to the back of your truck? :facepalm:

    Do you really think I’d block it intentionally when If i see someone collecting carts? Relax dude, I’m not that much of an asshole and I wasn’t even in the store for more than 5 minutes.

    I do the same. Especially since I bought it stock (SR5 not TRD) with 6 miles on the ODO. 6 years worth of mods and saving up to do them, I have to admire all the work put in. Good looking rig btw!

    Below 0 outside got a bath before getting there.
    Wife gets pissed I park as far from the door as the lot allows.
    I move carts if needed and try to be where I can see it.
    I get that’s it’s a vehicle but it still has value and is in really good condition.
    I stopped caring about my gm Vehicles’s cause it just didn’t matter they had to go.
    The taco is a keeper and I try to do what I can to keep it.

    Used to be that the only time I looked back at my truck, was in order to look it in the face as I flipped it off...

    But after 5k miles in a problematic new truck, it was finally corrected and I can now look at her with a slight smile... but with an aura of suspicion in when she may take her revenge on me for the 6 months of verbal abuse...

    I was out with a few fellas last summer during a windstorm, came out to find a cart smashed into the very back of the bed of my truck... welp then i noticed it actually hit the front fender and rode its way down the entire side of my truck. I raged and threw the cart into a river..... no ragrets :rant:

    Plate bumpers work good at moving shopping carts that are left in spots, never ceases to make me chuckle.

    You betcha! It’s been -20f around here for what seems like forever. Good thing I got the truck ahead of winter. Good heat, great in snow, perfect for the road ruts created by lack of plowing the roads and low temp.

    If I am walking away from my truck from the front, I always look back and admire it. But if I'm walking away to the rear, I really don't want to see the crappy rusty dinged-up bumper :rolleyes:
