Should have bought a truck named AVOID instead of RAM

difference in bumper heights strikes again.. interesting thing are the windows didnt break in the ram and at least one front door still opens.. id say that truck did pretty good at minimizing passenger compartment damage..

So it's my guess you don't mix buses and pickups? Here's another drive away...man, I thought it was amazing...https://youtu.be/9vVjjZO5OgE

that would have been so much more terrifying of an experience if it were left hand drive

Lucky that the bus was empty. Good to see that the Ram can take this kind of beating and the driver still remains relatively ok.

ha!!! a question I might ask!!!

in a wierd twisted way.. years ago a guy pulled out of an alley and i smacked him with my 1980 Oldmobile ToroNado.. hit him hard. caved the whole right side of his cavalier in.. he was sort of OK.. the ambulance didnt carting him but they treated.. while we were waiting for Tow-rigs.. I wondered if my car would still start.. (the cops asked if it was mobile to clear the road)... Istarted it up. with antifreeze pouring everywhere and nasty sounds.. it made it off to the side.. and I had to do it.. I set 'MAX A/C'. to see if it still worked.. and it did... the radiator was smashed, the condensor was bent to Hell but the old thick copper tubes GM used didnt bust...

and one MAD insurance agent wgen I told him they were going to rebuild, not total my classic.. it was rare.. they didnt make very many SC's in 1980..

I dont know if the A/C worked in the Cadillac after I hit a semi with it at 70.. the battery was dead so it wouldnt start, and I couldnt get the shift to go into P.. (but I did try) .. that one wasnt rebuilt..

Jdawg, are you on the psychic channel? I took that psychic 101 class, but it didn't stick.

Just making fun of your comments with just an emojie. I figured there was a psychic message.
