Be happy that you were smart enough to not take that step which would have potentiality crushed you between the truck and the mailbox.

So I pull forward and get out to go back to get the paper. As I reach for the paper I feel someone bump my butt except the bump is my truck door! I had not reached park the damn truck was in reverse with the door wide open!
I had the choice of trying to jump in off balance or step back and let the mailbox eat my door!

I chose the latter, and watched my truck destroy the door in slow motion as it idled the door to a new meaning of open

$3800 later it got clear of the mailbox and I was able to step into the truck and put it in park. Now this truck has never had a scratch on it as I take care of it similar to the cobra.
Well better safe than sorry I guess and I can have my insurance fix the truck but what a way to start the morning.
