Was sitting at a red light about 4 cars back in this...
Heard tires lock up behind me then a crunching noise. Felt a bump, but not enough to actually move the truck forward any at all. Got out an see the whole front end of a Buick crunched and smoking with radiator juice dripping. The Buick had bounced back about 6 feet from the back of the Jimmy. Get around to look at the back of my truck and all I find is some new yellow paint on the trailer hitch ball.
Just about that time, a cop stops that is going the opposite direction, points at the Buick and says, "It's your fault." Points at my Jimmy and says, "Looks like you didn't even get a scratch, do you guys want me to fill out a report or not?" The Buick guys says, "No. he didn't want it on his insurance." I walked over, wiped the paint off my trailer hitch and said. "All fixed, I'm good." The cop shrugged and drove on.
Exchanged info and I drove off. Saw him limp his car to a parking lot leaving a trail of fluids. Whole front end was crunched with hood and fenders crinkled with a vee in the bumper were my 8 inch dropped hitch left it's impression, bet his Buick was totaled. Never heard from him so don't think he reported the accident.
Man, that ol' Jimmy was tank worthy.
