well last night.....i was in a parking lot that had no lights on in it....and i was leaving...and was backing up.....turned the wheel right to spin around....going say about 12 MPH.

all a sudden thump thump...go up a curb... as im reacting to press the break WHAM....right into a light pole ( i didnt see it...foggy windows due to unspkoken reasons) ...steel of course...im like sh*t!
so i flip it to drive and take off before anyone comes...(neighboorhood pool parking lot around houses haha)

as im driving off the pole has a gash in it, and is now slanted about 15 degrees from vertical.

i get hgome....take a look at my bumper....not a scratch....not a dent..chip...nothing....its exactly how it was before i hit it!
only complaint is....reverse sensors didnt go off untill i hit the damn thing.

 

Hmm...what did your passenger have to say about your driving skills?

 

"nice"

hahaha.hey it was dark...late...and i wasnt fully capable of thinking straight at the time.

its ok though cause no damage.

 

 

trooks lets see what thump has to say in his great mood

 

nice

 

...edited to correctly spell TOUGH.

 

i think i must of hit it with my trailer hitch RIGHT on my Ford Emblem cover...like i must of hit RIGHT on cause it barely sticks furhter out than the bumper.

thanks RP i originally had that.....but for some reason the Ford commercials stuck out in my head to say Tuff haha....

 

Haha nice.

My hitch and hitch cover have saved me from getting a new bumper and tailgate a time or two also

Any pics of the light pole?

 

the sensors only notice at like below 10mph, or maybe even less.
and they only work for a few feet so if your going that fast back you wont be able to stop in time anyways

 

mine work from 8Ft back usually....but yeah...mabye i was right above the speed where they sense...

 

Learn how to drive boy.

 

The revese sensing system is intended to be a parking aid, not a collision avoidance system.

 

hahaha.....cant argue with that ^^^

 

i don't know if i would be proud to share this story
