Non off roading carnage (FJC)

Saw this on two other forums

Neighbor backs into guy's FJ at night, blames it on it being black.
Gimme a break, bad driver...

Ugly. Cracked me up to see the chicken-little "blind spotters" chiming in already.

I know, blame it on the blind spot.
Heck, everything I drive at work has a blind spot.
Whether it is my forklift, or a huge street sweeper I operate a few times a week.

You can see better out of the FJ than what I drive at work.
I constantly have to bob my head around to see around my mast and other parts on the forklift to make sure I do not hit the peds around here and cars that do not pay attention to a 10K lb forklift around them.

Hmmmm, I am bored.
I should call and find out what stage my rig is at.
I am tired of waiting...

Maybe I'm stuck on stupid this morning, but explain to me how the damage to the yellow one could have been caused by a blind spot. Somewhere in the rear quarter of the truck I can understand, but the whole stinkin' side? That was someone else's blind spot at work there!

Jhonny has been dead for about a year. I test drove it in traffic and had no issues with blind spots. You just need to use your side view mirror on the right, and turn your head on the left a little. The same as if you drove a bus or a semi.

That yellow FJ was from Burt Toyota here in Denver and my friend works there and said it was sideswiped by a garbage truck but he didn't know who was at fault.

I test drove a Corolla on Monday and saw that thing in the back of the lot. It looked so sad. Hasn't even seen mud yet and its out of commission. Salesman said it was their main demo and had less than 500 miles on it.

The sad part is that Toyota doesn't have any parts body parts available. This doesn't make much sense for a top notch manufacturer.

Grammar bobo. The sad fact is that no parts are available for a top notch company.
