Re: a pole jumped out behind me

Classic...... was it a red-head pole? Watch out....... if you were driving a Z71 you would have been above the pole poking.........

I may be evil, but I laughed so hard I cried when I read this post! My wife now truly believes I'm a raving lunatic! Sorry about the burb.

Re: a pole jumped out behind me

You could have told us a better story. Like, you were bonkin' your sisters hot ass friend - you know, the one that you busted your ass in front of while helping her move? - and, in the heat of the moment, you bounced the truck right into a pole.

"It's all about the six inches"; you cant help but wonder if it would have happened without those 6 extra inches. At least the pole was nice enough to leave the tailgate and lights alone.

Re: a pole jumped out behind me

What's more painful Andy? Making an ass out of yourself in front of a hot chick/potential g/f, busting your ass after you're pride is shot to hell, or busting the ass end of your truck on a pole?

one step forward 2 steps back if it wasn't for those 2 steps backward all the time we all would get done faster and it would not matter what was behind us

Re: a pole jumped out behind me

Actually - Andy - can you please post some pictures of the pole that got the better of your rear end? I must say - while I'm not interested in experiencing what you did, I am really curious to see some pictures.

Re: a pole jumped out behind me

pole is undamaged... actually bumped into the cement bace.
That tailgate is red... the photo was taken at night with my cell phone, which has an LED flash, which comes out blue-ish white causing the color to look funny.

Re: a pole jumped out behind me

damn poles, I bet it jumped out in front of you!

How'd it not hit the bumper? The one time I did that my step bumper took the brunt of it with no body damage....

Re: a pole jumped out behind me

Andy's rear is a vortex. It sucked the pole right from around teh bumper.
