First one I bet was stolen or some meth head took it for a good ride. The second one a rod was tossed through the block thats pretty hard to miss by the looks of it I think it sucked up some water judging by the look of the fuel filter. But w/e not our tucks to worry about doesn't bother me any cause Im not paying for their phuckup.

very very true. trucks arent made to look shiny and pretty all the time.

I agree with you, but at the same time i don't see the point in using a brand new truck for work. Almost everyone around here has their daily driver new truck, then have 2-3 older trucks for work.

the video was too dark for me to see a thrown rod, also i've never seen one in person to have an idea of what it was.

gothemi, my boss had his basically new daily driver dodge doubling as our work truck (hauling a 15,000 lb concrete trailer) for a couple of years, we beat the hell out of it.
