I could almost put up my Chevy 2500HD from 2004......and that photo wouldn't change much from the new trucks.

She was competing in an equestrian event and was parked at a hotel overnight in our almost 20 year old Mercedes-Benz.
When she came out next morning, she found a note from a young rider from Palo Alto staying at the same hotel. She had backed into the car in a borrowed pickup truck and pushed it over the cement bump at the end of the space (the ubiquitous things that frequently delineate the end of a space).
Her dad was a doctor from 🇫🇷 working in the 🇺🇸. He didn’t want to bother the owners of the truck his daughter had borrowed with an insurance claim so he asked us to get a couple of estimates for the repairs and sent us a check for $3,500.*
Not everyone has lost all sense of decency and community spirit. I know I’ll do the same if I ever make a similar mistake.
* (Bent trunk lid, damaged bumper cover, bent bodywork behind the bumper etc.)
Way to once again try to make things all about you…

A Marine always finds a way to dump on the Navy. I think it was one of our general orders.😇😀The Gear...

Too many hurt feelings I guess. Tom's formal complaint must have made it to the people in charge. 🤣For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -
Eh well.
I never really took 'em seriously, and used them mostly as substitute reactions on the joke threads. Oh, and on everything @bcwsrt and @xschop posted. I might have used Disagree seriously 2 or 3 times.
Now how are we supposed to hurt peoples' feelings? I guess it's back to direct mentions and responses with dogmatic comments. I'm really gonna miss the anonymous gaslighty passive aggression capabilities.

Now, you do know that the Marines are a Department of the Navy, right ?
(said smugly, with a slight roll of the eyes 🙄)

"Yeah, the MEN'S Department ! 🤗
(came the non-inclusive,
non-equitable, divisive triggering response forcing the OP to retreat to a safe space 😢)
....dang, that was pretty dramatic even if I say so myself ! 😳
