Default this is how my day is going

Came around the corner and I couldn't see these cause my truck sits above them. So far damage just appears to be bent rim, front quarter panel, headlight, and bumper. And BTW I know I made a mistake I don't need to be preached on about it so save it for another thread.

Well damn, that sucks, sorry dude.

But.. judging by the height of the posts, I guess you can't see half the cars on the road either? That's scary
Come on..those are perfectly visible, slow down
Also, judging by the bright red painted lines it looks like you weren't even on the 'road'.

You post a picture of your damaged truck, apparently solely for our viewing pleasure and expect to not receive any grief from us? You otta know better,

Accidents happen.

Sadly yes. I'm a little cooled off now and can laugh it off but man it sure does suck! I'm glad mine is just body damage, and an excuse to get rid of those damn smoked headlights I got on accident lol

That sucks.... I've hit a pole before I turned into it tho and I got a good excuse tho lol. I was in a corn field with tall corn stalks...... And it was a old gate post.... I was barely in the edge if the field... The corn stalks were dead just hasn't fell over yet... I was going around a track hoe blocking the road... Cause they were redoing a bridge but It was done they just hadn't slaged (paved)the road yet it's was still dirt.

I caught one of those poles with the edge of my bumper while backing up once... Almost yanked the whole front bumper off! I am now VERY careful around those things.

Now you can get black lightnings. And a lightning grille too, that'd really top of the truck.
