But it ran well and drove and stopped fine. <br />I hit that rear bumper (hard) with a 12 pound sledge and all that happened was a little paint came off. <br />A modern car would crumple up if it hit that bumper. <br />No one wanted to get too close to me in that truck. <br />jon spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886632644249920124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-10672141407442321952016-03-03T17:17:23.302-08:002016-03-03T17:17:23.302-08:00Ouch!Ouch!OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-43910031089840423272016-03-03T17:16:16.735-08:002016-03-03T17:16:16.735-08:00And we are talking tailgaters, so range isn't ...And we are talking tailgaters, so range isn't really a factor.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-65408736319507828282016-03-03T16:48:15.932-08:002016-03-03T16:48:15.932-08:00I had a friend who was stationed in northern Italy...I had a friend who was stationed in northern Italy many years ago. It was customary to beep your horn in the mountains as you approached a blind curve to warn oncoming traffic. His little car (I’m not sure what) had an equally little horn and his pathetic “beeps” did not impress the Italians. After a number of near misses he wrote his folks and had them ship him am electronic diesel horn. Once installed it gave a prodigious HONK HONK and he said that from that day forward people gave him lots of room on the turns.<br />My other favorite was a guy at work who came in one day complaining that someone was parked in his assigned spot and he had to park far, far away. The next day the same thing happened and he came in steaming. He wrote a strong note pointing out that spaces were assigned and the driver would have to park elsewhere. When it happened a third time I expected him to go ballistic. Instead he just asked me to stop by an auto supply store while we were out to lunch. That evening when I went out I saw the strange car still sitting in his parking space with a very agitated young lady tapping her fingers on the wheel. As I walked by I saw that both of her tires on the passenger side were flat. That was the end of the problem and the following morning my friend was walking around with a tire core removal tool and said to me, “Have you ever noticed that everybody has a spare tire, but hardly anyone has two?”<br />Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482185271178889753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-10063115337778576832016-03-03T16:22:48.935-08:002016-03-03T16:22:48.935-08:00The first one to try is the 9mm.
