Rearranged a Toyota today with my M1078!

Stopped at the Lumber Yard to show off the M1078 and the guys were not there? So on leaving I looked on the passenger side cause the drivers side had a truck in the way. Figured how I would turn to back out. Started backing up and it made a noise inside the cab? Thought the tire rubbed on the wheel well. So I gave it a little more throttle and pop that did not sound right!

I got out and was going to look at my tire and out of nowhere a older Toyota had pulled in my blind spot as I was getting in mine to leave. Well my front bumper decided to blow out the drivers side window then mess up both posts in the middle!! Man what a thing I had to tell the wife. Honey I boboobed and need $800.00 to pay for a broken window and 2 messed up doors. That did not go over well and the Toyota was all beat up in the first place.

Wife said that is 2 years of insurance ($480.00 a year) for the truck it was just quoted today. I was in a parking lot and my fault, guess I got over that way??? Did not even scratch my M1078 not a mark on it I could not just wipe off! Well above any bumper on the little truck!!

I took an entire rear bumper off a gal that was parked in a handicap space with no placard or license plate. Totally in my blind spot. Never saw her car. That's my story and I stuck with it...

Offered to call the police, but she knew she'd have just gotten the parking ticket so she wouldn't cooperate.

I hate people who steal handicap parking.

I wonder if those funky looking mirrors that a parabolic, mounted to the top of the door, and run parallel to the door would help. I see them in European trucks a lot.

Would have been more fun with a Deuce and the insurance companies watch YouTube also and all your comments $
Rambo did it better AND found a nice M60 just waiting to take.

Many of the MV owners on here were not out of the crib yet when this was filmed :)
