I was at the gas station filling up the 2.7 eco today, and while I was standing there a 25 foot spitting king cobra snake came crawling out from under my truck right by my foot. Using my superior athletic mussel control, I did a whopping 10 inch leap with a 1/4 twist and I tripped over the gas hose and hit my head really hard into the side of my rear fender. Kind of felt like the guy swinging the sledge hammer into the side of the new truck in the video. I felt and heard the metal cave in and I knew I just screwed up my new truck. The guy at the next pump came over to see if I was alright and he said at least you didn't dent your truck. I got up and looked and ran my hand over it and Ill be dammed, no dent, no wrinkle, nothing. I did a little dance until I remembered the man eating python and got the hell out of there. OK, it was only a 2 foot grass snake but you can never be to cautious around these killers This really made me a big believer in the Military grade aluminum ford is using now because I think I would have dented a steel paneled truck. Thanks ford.

 

That was funny! Glad to hear, that's great.

 

LOL that was awesome.

 

I knew you were stretching the truth. The spitting king cobras in Texas don't get over 17' in length!

Head: 0
Aluminum: 1

 

Cool.

 

I hate those 65' Rattleheaded Copper Moccasins!

 

Dang man eaters!! Glad everyone and everything is okay be it man, beast, or aluminum haha

 

My 03 has fiberglass bedsides

 

Ha Ha. I think this one must have slithered over from Louisiana.

 

All my power lifting friends are always giving me hell about snakes. They want to know why a guy can lift so much weight and scream like a girl when a snake is within a 100 feet of me. I'm not really sure why I'm scared of the dam things. Maybe cause they don't have shoulders. Don't know, but I will definitely shoot the hell out one if I get a good shot. Now spiders I get along with.

 

Oh, HELL NO.

 

I believed the snake part until I read about the superior athletic mussel you have under control.

 

Now that you mention it, it really isn't that superior, athletic or under control. Wishful thinking I guess. But the Aluminum is awesome.
