So I drive my 2009 F150 up my 250 foot driveway to get the paper which I sometimes do in the cold winter. I pull alongside the paperbox and roll down the window but still cannot reach it as it was all the way in the rear of the box!
So I pull forward and get out to go back to get the paper. As I reach for the paper I feel someone bump my butt except the bump is my truck door! I had not reached park the damn truck was in reverse with the door wide open!
I had the choice of trying to jump in off balance or step back and let the mailbox eat my door!
I chose the latter, and watched my truck destroy the door in slow motion as it idled the door to a new meaning of open
$3800 later it got clear of the mailbox and I was able to step into the truck and put it in park. Now this truck has never had a scratch on it as I take care of it similar to the cobra.
Well better safe than sorry I guess and I can have my insurance fix the truck but what a way to start the morning.
