[sac-forum] Re: My truck.

AJ, I am sure glad we're not doing the >Very< Last Call For.....  ou are 
a lucky guy, that's all I can say.  I hope you don't have any permanent 
effects other than some scary memories after getting banged around that 
way.  But that kinda thing could happen to any of us!  I got tapped 
(real lightly, thank goodness) while waiting for a traffic light a few 
months back.  Only $500 worth of damage to my rear bumper!!
