Sorry if I came off as a smartass but I didn't start this thread to here about people getting hurt or killed. All I wanted to hear was when people were stopped and felt a jolt and see that the little car is smashed but both drivers are okay and the truck doesn't have a scratch.

I just put on my 14" drop hitch today, so now I'll get rear-ended for sure.

Sorry no pics....here my hitch though

Hey Tank,
That's a nice looking hitch. I'm curious though - being vertically adjustable
like that, what tongue weight is it rated for? Seems you'd take a tongue weight
penalty in exchange for being adjustable.

I have to admit I did some prety dumb things in my younger years. I now refuse to drive after I have been drinking.

I did get rear ended when I had been drinking kinda of crapy Irony.

I remember it was my first truck a 1986 f-250 reg cab 2wd. The second day i had it i was at an auto parts store and a someone comes in to the store and asks who owns the orange for. It turns out that some one backed there geo metro in to my truck. My truck had a small scrach on the bumper and the geo ad 2 busted windows and the back corner of his car was pushed in about a foot.

Later that day a classmate backed in to my truck. no damage to my truck and and destryed the front quarter of her car. Her dad gave me 100 bucks for the trubles the next day.

My partner (Dodge Megacab) and a little Honda backed into each other at an apartment complex. He never saw a thing even after the hit. Didn't know what it was until he got out and walked back there. They split the $750 repair for the Honda's plastic bumper wrap.

Guess this thread proves you need to keep that hitch in the receiver at all times! I do.

I rolled forward and barely tapped the old man in front of me. I got out of my car, walked up to the old man to make sure he was ok. He didn't even know he was involved. The police came and the next thing you know he is saying his neck hurts and his back hurts. I call BS and tell the cop that I barely touched him. Being no damage to the his truck or the front end of my car. The officer believed me. But the back end of my car was buckled down but still driveable. The guy that hit me worked with my dad. Well after everything was taken car of, I went to work. I got a call from my dad. He asked me how bad did hammer, hammer my car. Well he came up to my work and seen the damage took my car to the body shop and got an estimate. Then he came back to my work in my truck 85 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 I owned at the time. A couple weeks later I got my 86 t-bird back. All paid for by hammer.

I found out he got his nick name because he hammers everything he sees. Wether it is cars, barrells, lightpoles, fence posts, if he is in a motorized vehicle operating it nothing in sight is safe.

maybe i missed something in drivers ed all those years ago but why did you put it in neutral and take your foot off the brake when your behind someone and about to be rear ended? i aint looking to be a pain or cause a big arguement here i think its funny i was just wondering why you did that, lol.

and tank, that is a hell of a hitch ive been looking at that one, as well as the ones made by that same company that arent adjustable height but they are so dang expensive!!
