What's cool damage and not cool damage to your truck?

i would consider slider damage cool.

 

Cool damage - trail pinstripes
Not cool damage - Wal Mart shopping cart dent

 

Sumbitches do that all the time to me , I’ll be the only 1 in the parking lot that out in nowhere land. And I’ll be dam if someone is parked right bedside me and we’re the only ones in the parking lot.

 

worst part was I was at a course and couldn’t get it fixed so I told the dude “hey man not a big deal, don’t worry about insurance.” I didn’t have time to to get it fixed or deal with it. Glad the guy had integrity to tell me.

 

All body damage is manly
Windshield cracks are feminine

Blowing your tranny is not manly

 

Must resist a blowing your tranny comment , oh maaaaaan

 

Cool damage= encounters with nature(rocks, bushes, trees) I needed to have to complete trail/trip.
Not cool= everything else, specially lack of attention to detail ones.

 

Yall ever let your truck get dirty as shit and let the neighborhood kids draw on it?

 

Not cool. Wife hits remote for garage door DOWN as you’re backing out. the FIN is on the garage floor.

 

I have a lot of respect for this response. Good on ya

 

i think it really depends on where you are on the socioeconomic scale. for those of us on the lower end of this scale, things like ketchup stains, french fries along the edge of the seat, empty shell casings on the dash and floor, and cigarette burns on the head liner are cool and expected within a day or two of leaving the dealer.

as for the exterior, within a week or two of ownership dents in the tailgate and bed sides from tossing items such as firewood and empty beer bottles are also cool and expected. if you use bailing wire to secure a part of truck the admiration from your peers goes up.

also, the older the truck the more cool the damage becomes regardless of how caused. a dent in the door on a six month old truck may not be cool, but on a 15 year old truck it is way cool and i would say mandatory.

 

Shell casings are definitely cool.

 

Call me crazy but this is perhaps the one thing that triggers me more than anything else. Almost makes me want to switch religions if you know what I mean...

 

I knew people who got mad when I tossed a backpack into the bed out of fear of scratching it.

 

Maybe someone was sleeping in it

 

Good thread topic OP.

Cool damage: When I did a little rock climbing and laid a long scratch down my rock slider + wheel.

Not cool: Girlfriend borrowed my truck to pick up family at airport. Tailgate got a fat scratch and dent from their luggage. Instead of lowering the tailgate, they tried to huck it over the tailgate.

 

+1!!

 

Sitting IN my truck at the grocery store a kid (young adult). Looks right at me with an arm full of groceries. Swings his door open and hits my passenger door. Looks at me again and says OOPS!

 

hey thanks, and that would piss me the fuck off, depends on which inlaw though did it lol
