Look at the bright side; now your paintless dent repair facility will have less trouble straightening the dents out.

 

I hear ya on that one: I'm so old fashioned I still have a 68 JD 4020, and it will run when nothing else will.

 

True, but what about hail damage. A 1980 Ford will still take it a lot better than these newer ones.

 

I thought the outside door panels flapping when you shut the door was just me. I stepped up on my front tire one day and using my one fist. I put it down on the hood gently and leaned across to wipe the front window. Late that day I noticed I left knuckle marks In my front hood. I'm so pissed about that. I used to do that on my explorer all the time with no problems.

 

I'm pretty shocked about the knuckle marks, I used to have girls in bikinis want to pose on the hood of my corvette which I always happily abliged! It was fiberglass but thin and made to be light and even with them crawling around on their hands and knees on it I never had any problem. I never was too worried about it either though because i always wanted a callaway hood so I could fit a supercharger on it

 

Exactly right. High strength steel. However my 08 GM HD dented the box with my just falling into it.
My 1971 turbo diesel GM 3500 HD (very customized!) has body panels that that don't dent when I give it a flying body check. But that truck has some serious heavy metal in it.

 

 

Look at the brite side. With all of the feed corn going to make fuel we will be bumping smaller lighter COWS. Bubbabud

 

That I could live with, but not the higher prices at the grocery store since we are burning our our food for fuel, and getting worse mileage in the process. Just a heads up too, because of the drought in Texas get ready for higher beef prices this next year, so stock up on steaks if you have a big freezer.

 

I'm tired of watching our hay heading south. Bales that cost me $35 last year are $55-$60 now.
