Is your Jeep purple heart worthy? Do you have a story or pics that you reluctantly wish to reminisce on? Tell your story/post your pics up past and present in this thread and we can recuperate together.

Two months after I bought my Jeep, I was at lunch and parked in a lot right along a frontage road. On the highway, an elderly citizen lost control of his SUV, hit a rut in the right lane and proceeded lose control, careen through the chain link fence across the frontage road and right into my Jeep parked in the lot. I've never told the story before but thought I would share.. He got the bumper, headlight and grille and a future trip to the dealer revealed a cracked water pump. My Jeep was knocked back into the parking lane and was about three inches from clipping a BMW behind it... No pics, sorry it was way before I joined any of the forums so I never considered documenting it at the time.

Then... earlier this year I was changing lanes and clipped a Honda that I did not see.. minimal damage and I was able to buff it out. It was actually the first time I've ever hit another car.. nothing too exciting but I have pics of this encounter.

Picture a big rolling shelf on tracks bolted to the floor of the truck. that tracks on the truck have the HD steel rollers on it that the shelf rolls on, much like a computer keyboard tray.

He had his finders under the front lip of the tray pushing it shut, but it got momentum because there was a slight hill he was parked on. The edge of the tray that his fingers were under hits the metal stops and the wheels. He jammed his finger between the edge of the tray and the metal wheel. (you cant see the wheels or stops)

Last job site I was working I saw a guy slice into his calf with a circular saw, and another guy actually cut his finger tip damn near off with one.. people and power tools man! lol

Forgot to mention seeing a guy fall 2 stories down an open elevator shaft, that topped it all! Funniest part of all, he was the lead electrician on the job, reason he fell - NO LIGHTS! LMAO

I have a nice dent in my Jeep as well, I will get a pic of it here soon guys, short version of the story - it's from a trailer hitch ball :( I will explain more when I post the pic!

I can't picture how someone could do that. Was his leg on the table or something?LOL don't mean to laugh but sounds weird...

lol, everyone was laughing at first at this clown..

it was a hand held one, and for some reason he took the blade guard off his, and when he was cutting something, he brought the saw down but forgot to take his finger off the trigger i guess, lol.. right across and through his calf!

Mine does not have any real damage but the pass front corner of the front bumper has a nice big black vertical line on it where some schmuck tried to budd the jeep and burned through the paint to the plastic.

Something like that happen to me in my go kart of a 2000 nissan sentra. It was snowing and I was 2 miles from home. I just looked down to pick up the remote to my radio and I was sideways. I spun around and hit something from behind. I didn't even get out to look at my car or what I hit. I just drove home with a flat tire. Even when I got home I didn't look I just went inside i was so pissed. Next day there was no damage just the tire came ofdf the rim. % min in a tire shop and I was good to go. LOL

i was driving down a road heading home and i looked @ the radio for a second and then i looked up and there was two cars parked on the side of the road and i turned to the left a avoid hitting them and there must have been some black ice or just the road was wet and the truck did a 180 and went backards into a fence, a shed, and then stopped after hitting a tree.
