I have had my beast for little over a year and it has been hit 5 times, mostly in parking lots and in the back of the lot (I try to park away from every one else) The lastest is a scarred rear fender gouged to the plastic that I will have to fix. Do ya'll have the same problem with ya'lls trucks or am I just an unfortunate fool?

 

Yes,
It attracts morons on the highways. (Been lucky with the dings so far though).
Can't answer the fool question for you though

Mine has this huge pull that grabs my butt and plants it in the drivers seat anytime I approach it? Okay, seriously I found the best way is to park far from the main entry point to whatever and take up two parking spots.

 

Mine sure does!!!

Every object with mass in the universe has gravity. The more massive it is the more gravity it generates.

No. Really!

 

My 99 pulled a cart at Home Depot the other day. The tall steel ones, not the flatbeds. Hard enough to set off the alarm (which takes a really stout hit, I work at an airport with a great deal of F-16 traffic and it never goes off). Luckly it hit the molding. No damage.

I'm not sure if it's the gravitational pull or the special order invisible paint from the factory, but at least two vehicles pull out in front of me every day. I'm pretty carefull where I park so thankfully no damage yet. Oh for those people who insist on pulling out in front of me, I just got a 152db three trumpet train horn that will rattle your brain!

 

I got a 6 inch channel iron back bumper. I gravitated to a telephone pole last year but all I got was a jarring stop. I pity the fool that gravitates into it.

Gravitational field? That explains these other vehicles coming at me from behind at such high rates of speed. I don't care what speed I am driving these things just come on at the speed of light! And here I thought it was the drivers just accelerating until they hit something. Gravitational field, learn something every day.

 

My pet peeve is why can someone with like a 94 escort have a shopping cart run full bore into its side on a windy day, with not much more than maybe a tiny dent and a short scratch, and yet we cannot even so much as sneeze near our trucks w/o a $1,000 collision repair invoice!!! The damage on our trucks is never proportionate to the incident that caused it!!!

 

mine attracts morons....

"Wow, why is that thing soo loud?"

"Can you turn your noise down; I can't talk on my phone"

"Ya got a hemi in that?"

"My brother-in-laws friends step dads brother has a diesel one ton, he gets a solid 50 mpg..."

"I bet that thing kills you on fuel"

Everyone that knows nothing suddenly becomes an expert on diesel vehicles when they start to talk to you...

 

Mine attracted a mini van. I crumpled a soccer mom's rear hatch gate.

Maybe it was cause it's spring and my truck needed some lovin?

 

Mine sucked in a tree the other day. Now I that I have a few nice dents and dings I think I will pay a visit to the paint and body guy and ask him where the switch is to turn off the gravitational field.

 

See now that's why I have armor on mine. Bumper works very well for moving up to tall curbs and the flat bed works well at repeling Honda hybrids.

 

I was at the store the other day.
Pretty high wind from the south, parking lot is north/south oriented, I noticed the huge flag in the parking lot really billowing.
As I got out to go into the store, the wind almost ripped the door out of my hands,
as I am always extra careful about the cars around me, I held on, no worries.

Came out of the store, and was sitting in the truck putting on the seatbelt and such, when an older 4 door sedan pulled into the spot next to me.
Blonde gal driving couldn't hear the wind due to it blowing through her ears, and threw her door open, wind grabbed it and slammed it into my truck with enough force to rock it and me back and forth a bit, gal must not have seen me sitting there, as she just shut the door and walked into the store.

I didn't want to look, couldn't bring myself to look,
so I waited till I got home then slowly walked around to that side to see.

Couldn't find a dent or paint anywhere, then I remember how much higher I sit than most vehicles, I noticed a little paint smear and minuscule dent on my nerf bar.
I wish I would have looked at the time, 'cause I'm sure her door can't be shutting correctly with the force it hit me, there's gotta be a nice cave-in.

Twice I've gotten back to to the truck after work (sitting in the light rail parking lot 15 miles away) to see my LED blinking morse code (number of blinks a second lets you know what sensor has gone off) saying my shock sensor had been triggered.
There's a couple paint smears on the drivers side corner of the front bumper, so someone nicked my pulling into the parking spot.

So, yes, gravitational field being generated.
