...after cruisin around, I decided to pick up some Krispy Kreme doughnuts...after waiting in the drive thru for about 10 minutes I felt the L surge a few inches fwd.

At first I thought the engine surged causing the L to move fwd. Then I looked in the rear view and noticed the girlfriend had both hands over her face and the guy had this blank look on his face...mouth was slightly open. So I get out to see if there was any damage to the L. As soon as I get there, the kid throws his Civic in reverse.....<crack>..... and takes off (probably thought I was going to kick some butt)

I was going to go after him but ended up laughing my *** off. I had a little scratch on the ball of my hitch. But that's not why I was laughing. The guy had hooked his front bumper/spoiler on to the hitch. and ripped part of it off when he backed up.

Too bad I didn't have my camera.

I'll bet that was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!Still have the bumper? I would tie it to my hitch and drag it down the road just to set an example..

 

You should have that bumper piece mounted and hanging in your garage. Call it "Left Over Rice" trophy.
Very funny story!

 

Too bad his license plate wasn't still attached to it!

 

I guess that counts as a kill?

 

Yes, I agree! That should count as a 'kill'. However, now that the kid has a new air intake source, he probably thinks it added 80 horsepower to that rice machine! Next thing you know, they'll all be bumping into us!

 

Glad you guys got a laugh out of my story. If that lic plate got pulled off I would have taken the whole thing home and taken pictures. It would have ended up as one of those "priceless" photos.

 

This calls for some truck nuts.

 

You should install the bumper on the L and make a Ricening. That with some chinese writing and altezza lights will probably drop you into the 10's. lol
