Post Lucky day?
Ever have one of those moments where you happen to have extraordinary luck and then think "well, better go back in the house or something bad will happen"?

Today I hooked up the trailer and positioned the truck and trailer in the drive to go make a pick up after 4pm. With the Super Duty sitting as high as it does, and the snow coming down, it was a tiny bit difficult to determine how close was too close to the Bronco parked in the drive. I eyeballed it, shut everything down, and went to go pull the Bronco around to the garage.

And here is what I saw.

I can't even begin to state how relieved I was to see it only touched the tire.

I learned long ago to approach these situations with a certain Pee wee Herman "uh huh, I meant to do that" mindset.

Good on ya !

I'd say ! If it were me, I would have hit the exhaust, shoved it into the motor, broke all the hangers, busted a couple of manifold/header bolts to be found later and slid up and punctured the gas tank.

Sad part is I figured I was at least a foot off the back bumper. Guess I need to get my eyes checked. Lol
