Someone Dented my pickup today.

I have some red stickers in my glovebox asking drivers who park too close to me to " Leave me a can opener so I can get into my car". Readable only from the inside of a windshield.

They are very hard to remove and leave a nice gooey residue. You'll probably never guess where I place them....

I am dealing with a neighbor that is losing it. Lost his license last after driving car off left side of road.

This video of my driveway is tip of the iceberg.

Is the neighbor the one spreading the leaves on the driveway?

He was so focused on the task did not notice car until I honked horn.

He continues to "amaze" many in the neighborhood. Many times the only response is WTF

As long as he's not physically hurting anyone, I'd be inclined to put up with it. But I would be concerned for his safety - it looks like you live on a fairly busy street. I'd hate to see him just step out in front of a car.

Dementia/Alzheimers is a horrible disease to watch. I'm having to watch my mother decline right now. Fortunately, she's "pleasantly confused" and not one of the victims that turns angry as the disease hits them.

Back to the thread topic of "dented cars"... About 2 years ago, my dad went through a period where he was "running errands" all the time in the car. One day he left the house at 8:30 a.m. - without his cell phone - to run errands. I was a little concerned, but not too much, when he wasn't home by mid-afternoon. Around 5:00, I cruised around his normal spots, but didn't see him. At 8:30 pm, I called the local police. They told me that they'd found him earlier - with a flat tire - and had him towed to a local tire shop for a replacement. The tire shop replaced the tire and sent him on his way at around 8:15 pm. GREAT - he's on his way home. Never showed. I called the police again around 10:00 and filed a missing-senior report. At 1:30 a.m. I got a call from the local ER. After leaving the tire shop, he decided to "explore a bit" and put about 100 miles on his car before driving up the main street of a little town about 40 miles from here. He was going fast enough (in a 25 mph zone) that after he hit a parked GMC Envoy, he flipped his Subaru and traveled about 75 feet on the roof of the car. He basically walked away from that "accident" with a small cut on his elbow. Fortunately no one else was hurt. Needless to say, I took away his driving privileges - so now I'm the bad guy!

Biggest dents on my truck have come from kids.

Over a decade ago my daughter (then 16) was out babysitting and backed into a tree. Got the panic crying phone call. Calmed her down and had here drive home. Had her help with metal work to get tailgate working and replace the light. Big thing was that she was OK. Steel is repairable/ replaceable - child not so much.

Later on had my son's friend try kung-fu move on the truck front grill. He found out it was plastic not steel. We found just about the pieces and glued it back together. Saw the same oh-my-god look on from his father when I told him a few years later.

I had a buddy years ago with one of those F150 Enforcer pickups. He never was the brightest lad but he certainly was determined. Anyway, he wanted to load a few buckets of material into the box with his FEL but it was very icy so he was worried about skidding into the side of the truck. He decided to put down some grit and then ever so slowly approached the truck with the bucket lifted about half way up. At the last moment, did I mention there was a slight grade, just before he was going to lift up the FEL the tractor lost traction and skidded forward on the ice causing the bucket to crash right into the side of the box. Caused a huge dent.

My buddy, not to be outdone or defeated, actually tried again the next day and crashed in the box on the other side of the truck in the identical fashion. It was a classic and we've never let him forget it. Oh, and it was his dad's truck too. LOL

Sometimes I do dumb things...

I parked my old Plymouth out back near a rock bank... I was driving through the area with the Backhoe so I moved my old Plymouth right next to the bank so it would be out of harm's way...

We have had 5 years of drought... in January the rains came.

Well... a boulder the size of a small duffel bag came loose and crashed down coming to a rest on the driver's side rear door window sill... did a number on the sheet metal on a car that had no dents or rust... 1972 model.

That same storm snapped a tree limb and put a nice crease in the front fender of my 1950 Plymouth...

Chalk it up to an Act of God is what my neighbor the Insurance Broker said.

Boy do I need a barn or warehouse!
