Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Who'd thunk it, 1 year and 2 days after my last story about my truck vs a car, here comes another one... .
Driving down a 4 lane divided hwy in the fast lane going 50 mph in a 45. A white taurus decided to make a left turn. It would have been nice if they had used a turn signal or break before the last second to make the turn. Here I am in my truck following a nice 2 seconds behind
#ad
. I lock up the tires and miss the car by a foot or 2. I couldnt even see the window on it as it was turning. Unfortunatly, the betch white T-bird behind me didnt have as good of refelxes, and proceded to go under my truck. I quicly looked in my mirror at the car, and saw that the front end was tore all to hell. I pulled off into the median and we looked at the damages. They ended up with a nice rip in their hood by my 6" drop hitch which was upside down. The rip was about 9" long and a half inch wide. They also had a few other dents from the reciever. My truck had no apparent damage. The guy who was riding in the car, aparently her husband, said the car has already been hit by a deer, and said they had a new hood on order. He said lets just forget about it, and since there was no damage to my truck I agreed. My insurance Co hates me enough, so I dont want to give them any more reason to drop me. So we both drove off. I did get the plate # of the car, and if they try anything like get me for driving off from a wreck, they have a small problem. My passnager is my future bro-in-law, and works for the county jail. If its their word against ours, I think I would win. After going to the gas station, I noticed a little dent in my exhaust pipe and one in my quarter panel from the tail pipe hitting it. Nothing big enough to notice or f* with. I would rather have the dent than be w/o the truck till its fixed.
