New Truck into a Wall

Just thought I'd share a little story from today:

While I was waiting in line to buy coffee this morning a guy was coming down the hill in his brand new Ram 1500 (still had the dealer ad plate and a temp permit—was a leftover 2018, not the new one). I'm not sure what the heck he was doing, but I guess he failed to see the curve and slammed the front right bumper/fender into a cement barrier. He backed it out of the barrier and pulled into a parking lot to inspect the results of his (lack of) driving skills. His wife was yelling something at him and he was obviously pretty upset. Who knows, maybe the brakes failed, but my guess is he was distracted messing with the infotainment center or something.

Nobody was hurt so I was allowed to laugh. I saw the damage and that would be a tough way to start ownership of a new truck!

 

Saw a simliar thing happen with a guy in a Corvette years ago. Jumped a curb and hit a heavy duty median sign pole which splintered the entire front fiberglass front end. Guy got out (unhurt) and shut the door calmly and started walking down the street like nothing happened.

 

Maybe it was @Elk Hunter

 

Trying to adjust the A/C on that fancy infotainment center.

 

man that sucks.

now he's gonna have a painted front end and just about the time the paint cures he'll have rusted out rear wheel wells to deal with.

 

Probably was fiddling around with the stupid dash mount shifter..

 

Tell me why again do we need all the fancy whiz bang latest and greatest gizmos in vehicles?...So people can be zoned into their electronics like zombies...oh thats why we now need all these sensors that malfunction. People might as well have their heads up their asses! I will never buy or feel like i need anything more fancy than my sr5...guarandamntee!
Maybe 5g will be a good thing...NOT
