I got tagged in the rear a couple days ago on the 5 fwy (as if I didn't have enough things to worry about).
Traffic was very heavy, I was going around 10 mph when WAM! We pulled over to the side and I first say the toyota small car that hit me, darn near totalled. Big hole in the bumper where my hitch went through, bumper smashed in, hood and fenders buckled, windshield cracked etc. I took a long look at the back of my Toyota tundra pick-em-up, nope, nothing. Not a scratch, dent, ding anywhere. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Evidently the trailer hitch and reciever took the whole hit and transfered all the energy to my frame. I'm gonna get it on a rack to check for frame straightness and alignment, but that's it. I doubt they'll find anything wrong. Iffn I was in a modern small car It'd be smashed. Crumple zones my butt, give me a daily driver with a big strong frame behind me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

My first and worst accident was a T-bone in my 62 409 Chevy convertible, I was thrown across the shifter, over and out the passenger side door and onto the hood of the car that hit me. Olaf J. Carlson, if you out there, you day is coming too!" TC |
