Wow! Glad you and Fiona are ok. Looks like the second fool hit the pickup after he bounced off of you

Thanks... Yeah, a little sore this morning. A little duct tape and the cover will be fine. Battle scars. [emoji23]

Thanks... If I were to guess, probably 55-60. I never heard any brakes or tires screeching as if he were trying to stop.

Thanks... She was wedged under the truck. The tow truck dragged both of them together off the freeway. [emoji15]
Thanks.
Thanks... It's a good marketing flyer for steel bumpers for sure. [emoji23]

Thanks, Ed. I'm a little sore down my left side, but otherwise fine.
Yeah, I saw the truck before I looked at mine and couldn't believe that she's basically unscathed.

Glad you're OK James. I had to zoom in on the pic of Fiona to even see the tears on the cover. That thing held up great. Not so much for the other two.

Just to add, in a world of crumple zones, I'm happy to drive a tank
Let the other guys crumple zone absorb all of the hit so you can drive home

For sure. Of course, it helps being lifted and letting their crumple zones hit a steel bumper right in line with the steel frame. [emoji23]

Fiona has been throwing codes related to exhaust leaks, poorly performing cats, and random misfires for about a month or so. I assumed it was the cracks that I guessed I had in the manifolds, but I haven't had time to tear into her.
Finally had some time today and this is what I found under the driver side heat shield...
Yep, I'm no expert, but I'm guessing this has something to do with it. [emoji23]
Until I can get new manifolds and the time to replace them, I figured I'd try some liquid steel.
Hopefully this will hold for awhile. I'm tired of the power loss and the reduction in gas mileage... What I really hope is that the cats aren't damaged due to the excess fuel she's been burning. [emoji849]
