why our trucks are so nice to have.

well today, i was backing out of the orielly parking lot, and i looked left and right backwards, but not straight back (no mirror). Lo and behold, there's a giant concrete pillar straight behind me!

I hit it so hard it stalled my motor on impact. I get out, and there's concrete laying on the ground, and my rear bumper doesn't even have a dent in it, it looks like all i did was back into a trailer hitch, not a 3 foot diameter chunk of concrete. We drive these trucks why?



I don't have an after picture yet.
