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

    It’s worth noting for sure… so I’ll just add that something similar happened to my wife in Fresno, of all places.

    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…

    Wha????? I thought it was a good story, I didn't see any lightning.....Scompracers thunder is still intact....

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

    Too many hurt feelings I guess. Tom's formal complaint must have made it to the people in charge. 🤣

    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 ?
