		<description><![CDATA[My truck went head to head (well, tail to head) with another car and came out the victor.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night was going moderately well.  I got home to find out that my press pass for San Diego Comic-Con went through, and it was time to head over to another Super Tuesday Party at Janet&#8217;s place down in Redwood City. </p>
<p>I was driving through town, stopped at a red light.  The light turned green, but a couple people in front of me had to make a left turn, and I was stuck stopped behind them.</p>
<p>It took me a second to figure out why my truck got shoved forward and what caused that big crunching sound.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, I got rear-ended&#8221;</p>
<p>I went for my glove box, got my insurance and registration info out.  A couple guys who were walkign by at the time told the other driver to turn his car off, he was leaking radiator fluid.</p>
<p>I started to wonder just how bad it was gonna be.</p>
<p>When I got out of the cab, I couldn&#8217;t see the damage to the back of my truck, but as I walked back there, I saw the damage to the other driver&#8217;s car:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://baddeacon.com/bdwordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/car1.jpg" title="The other car" alt="The other car had a bit of damage"></p>
<p>Pretty mashed up.</p>
<p>I had resigned myself to having a jacked up rear end, and having to get some body work.</p>
<p>I got to the back of my truck, and saw&#8230;</p>
<p>Nothing.  No damage.  Hardly even a tiny scratch to the bumper.</p>
<p>Check it out: </p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://baddeacon.com/bdwordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/truck1.jpg" title="my truck" alt="My truck hardly had a scratch on the bumper"></p>
<p>It was at this moment that I realised that my truck truly is invincible.</p>
<p>I also now see that there is another truck across the street in the photo, quietly watching, as if in solidarity with my truck.  We salute you, brother.</p>
<p>This is the second accident this truck has been in where at first it appeared the damage was gonna be bad, and then&#8230; nothing.  In both cases, the other cars couldn&#8217;t exactly say the same, and neither was my fault.</p>
<p>One occurrence is random chance.  Two occurrences is a pattern, and my truck is showing a pattern of invincibility vs. cars.</p>
<p>[I may have to post up the story of the first time my truck encountered car and won, it was from before I started this blog]</p>
<p>Over all, I was surprised and relieved to see I didn&#8217;t have any damage.</p>
<p>Most of all, I am proud of my truck.</p>
