Had summer Friday today. Ran down the street to Lowes to get a couple tools. On the way back stopping for a red light a box truck didn't see the light quick enough and back ended me.

Just realized I can't fix my spelling mistake on the title of my post. "Lit" was supposed to be "like"

Sorry Dave. Hope you and all involved are ok.
I am okay. I little shaken and sore but lucky that is it. This truck really protected me. It even automatically called 911.

Darn this is starting to be a bad habit around here. I'm glad you're ok but the Ranger doesn't look good based on mine and Bretts recent accidents. These trucks to seem to protect everyone which is a good thing!

I fixed the title for you too.

I guess to answer your question "Why do people like hitting Rangers"? 🤣

I know it's nerve wracking and stressful so just a little humor to take your mind off of this. :wink:🤓

When I was looking there were several on the east coast and mid west. I looked on cars.com, Truecar and Cargurus. It doesn't hurt to start looking now and maybe secure one. Good luck!

Dave, make sure to have @AzScorpion share his pillage list so you don't overlook anything.

That really sucks, but glad to hear that the truck did its job protecting you.

Wow, glad you’re ok Dave. The box truck looks like it took a worse hit than the Ranger. It doesn’t look drivable.

I always thought that white was one of the best “safety” colors, meaning that it is highly visible and would be hard for other drivers not to see you, but I guess I was wrong. It does look like you’re gonna be getting a new Ranger though.

That does look like a pretty impressive lick you took.
Really glad you're ok!

I was stopping for the red light and looked in the rear view and thought "oh shit, he can't stop". I nailed the gas to try to get out of the way. I think if I was completely stopped I would be in the hospital right now.
