F150, 0-2 in just under 1 second. 0-60 in just over 10 seconds.

Man, that sucks! I've always said I don't ever want to see my air bag.

Holy CRAP! If that's what happens to the bumber within 2 feet, I don't ever want to get into a fender-bender with anyone.
And why would anyone want to "tap" the throttle. Weren't we taught to ease into the throttle, that is unless you're in a race, which I doubt you were at the time.

I think "nudge" is the wrong word to use here
But it sucks that it happened in any case.

I don't think your truck is happy with you...


Look it's frowning!



Edited to add:
I seen an F150 rear end a chevy not to long ago at about 10 mph. Didn't even scratch the F150's bumper nor set off the air bags!
How fast were you going again?

This reminds me of this Lifeguard Joe thread a while back where he swears he was only going 10 m.p.h. but yet still managed to rip out the whole front end of his car. I also think "tapped the throttle" is the wrong term here.
