Is there a big target on the side of my truck or something?

What is it about my truck that makes people run into it?!

First, a couple of weeks ago, a guy parked next to me in a Toyota truck backs out, turns too early and hits my driver's side mirror with his front fender. Mangles his fender, but my giant camper mirror is unscathed. I thought this was kinda funny.

But then tonight, a guy I work with did the same thing.. backing out of a parking space, turned too quick but instead hits my passenger side fender and catches his bumper around the fender lip. I hear a big metallic noise and I run around back.. and about freak out. There's 2 little dents from his bumper, he ruined my wood trim piece, and the paint is scratched off.. but then I look at his. His fender is dented, and the right side of his bumper is tweaked out like a foot, while the driver's side is tweaked in. I look underneath and, hehe, his front frame horns are actually bent to one side! Guess they don't build those Ford Bronco II's real well.

Kinda made me mad, but it was kinda funny at the same time. Though I'm not so sure what makes my truck so hard to pull out next to.. at least it's built like a tank.

So, fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls...
Then gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all!
