Green Dash Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks guys. That's not all I bagged that night. On my way back home on the morning after I took this pic, I hit a deer a mile from the terminal. Twisted the bumper pretty good, but that's why PO goes with the cheap instead of aero bumpers. The driver I'm sharing with got this truck new last fall. back in January he hit a stray car that was pinwheeling back and forth across I-270 in Columbus, OH. That one cost a hood and a bumper. I hope this truck isn't going to make a habit of this nonsense. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I've gone 2 nights in a row with no incidents. It's a great feeling. I think safety should give me a patch or sumthin'. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Dogs chase cats and deer This one also has a thing for SUV's. I can't blame the dog, though. That was my 5th deer hit in less than 1 1/2 years. The other four were with Sterlings. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 seems a lot of the trucks I see runnin in New York state are runnin bull bars now a daysThey've definitely become popular in recent years and also more stylish and less cumbersome. I don't need a cow catcher off a locomotive to handle whatever I might encounter on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Congrats Jim, on the new ride! Thanks!
