Well there is one less bass bumping, fart can equipped, picnic table winged piece of crap Honda Accord running the roads in my neck of the woods. I had to make a quick stop because the idiot in front of me decided last minute to be a nice buy and let some one turn across in front of them into McDonald's this afternoon. The simpleton kid behind drove under my rear bumper about a foot and a half while the rear of my truck was still hunched up from the panic stop I was making. The nut that holds the trailer ball to the receiver punched a hole in his valve cover. He got out and started getting pissy with me, left the base thumping. I told him to turn that crap off, or I would do it for him. Then I told him to pull his dang pants up. Cops came no damage to my bumper just some anti freeze all over the plate, and bumper center.Cop told me I was good to go, and I could leave. I think I did about the same amount of damage dragging the bumper off the nose of the car as it did going under because my suspension was at rest!

LOL

Hopefully he learned not to follow that close anymore.

Not to be mean... That was funny and to top it off just another day for the old truck and ruined his day...
Glad no one was hurt.
-
that made my day
-
Whoever made the bumper on YELWSNO must have done a great job...hehe ;D
Poor little import.
-
lol this just made my day! ;D

I have a sign on the tailgate of my truck that reads"IF YOU CAN'T STOP JUST SMILE AS YOU GO UNDER"
-
dang typo................CAN'T..............
admin - fixed it, but you should be able to modify your own posts. let me know if you can't (try removing this)
-
Aw man no pics? :(
Glad you got another one of them off the road.
Ya know Blazin I remember when you were building that big yellow truck and getting the paint on it. It looked dang sweet. Then I saw some photos of it in the shop the other day being worked.
Mixed feelings about it, but good for you.
They are trucks first and always. They dont do you much good sitting in a storage unit 8 months out of the year. (trust me)

After I drove off I thought to myself. That was dumb. I didn't even take a pic or two! I figured it might be a little insulting to go back and take them! lol
The cop did though. I know another one of the officers on that dept. I might be able to get copies of his, but I don't know for sure.
Mixed feelings? How so? The rust etc.?
My trucks are trucks, they earn their keep. No body can accuse me of not working them, sometimes a little beyond their means!
Yellow Snow will get a face lift hopefully next summer.
Its starting to get a little ragged around the edges!

Oh don't mind me Blazin,
Like I said I remember when you were building that truck and how sweet the paint looked. I know how much time it must have taken to get everything done right.
I know what I went through with mine.
Then to see it years later being worked with stuff in the bed and all, it was like a bit of a shock. HA
I am glad you work it.
The mixed feeling part is that some guys have a show truck that never gets driven, except maybe to shows or something.
Some guys have trucks that are worked a lot.
But to see a really nice truck all restored, then worked.... Oh never mind I ain't making sense.
I guess it makes a lot more sense than spending all that money on a new one and then working it and in 5 years its not worth squat.

Poor Accord (are you sure it was not a civic Heck civics) being abused like that. Glad you truck was not damaged.

Glad no one got hurt. Also glad you told him to pull his pants up! LOL :) :) I'm sure that changed his attitude a bit.

Just called my son who drives a Chevy truck too (although not a square body) and read your post to his answering machine. I'm sure he got a good laugh out of it since Honda's with fart can exhausts and punks with falling down pants are 2 of his pet peeves too. Thanks for a good laugh! ;D ::) :o 8)

Well it was a 50 / 50 paint job. Look awesome from 50' at 50 MPH. Painted over allot of dings and small dents. the rear quarters were both a tad wavy too from body work over patch panels. I never once thought of it as a restoration. It was built with one thing in mind, plowing, and light cargo useage! most I've had in the bed was 10 front, and rear axles. Mostly 14 bolts, a couple Dana 44s, and a few Dana 60s.

Poor Honda. Oh well. I could respect ricers if they at least "modded" their cars to be more than huge fart cans with stickers.
I drove a Prelude for years, and for an FF car, it was decent. Got the urge to get a V8 and I will never look back. Plus the gas mileage on the Prelude was terrible, mainly due to the high CR I figure.

awesome story lol

Not Chevy stories, but I hope you will find it amusing anyway (if you can understand my "Swenglish" language). 8)
Many years ago I was at the Mc D drive-through. You have to stop at two places, the first to pay, and the second to pick up the food. The arabs in the rice-burner in front of me didn't get close enough to the car in front of them while waiting for their food, they just stayed where they already were, making it impossible for me to get to the cashier to pay. I honked, and they didn't get my message, so I pushed them away with my old Volvo! There were four of them, but they didn't dare to go out and fight! They just stayed in their car while I paid, that's pretty humiliating for them.
At a crossing of a road, the car in front of me didn't see some guy crossing the street at first, so he had to step on the brakes. Since I was second in line I had to do it as well, so the rice-burner after me crashed right into my rear end. My trailer hitch gave him a hole the size of a football in the front, and nothing happened to my Volvo.

I got a chuckle out of both stories.. thanks!
