I was living in NW Louisiana and was driving through Shreveport on the Fourth of July just as the fireworks had finished. Traffic was a mess. I was driving my Ford F250 p/u with a trailer hitch welded on the bumper. A guy in a Lincoln Continental pulled in behind me just as the traffic was coming to a stop. He tapped the back of my truck and yelled " Sorry about that". I waved to him 'Ok". Next traffic light he hits me again, just a little harder. I just shook my head. We get to the next traffic light, which is the last one before the on ramp onto I20. You guessed it. He really nailed me. I got out and saw I still didn't have any damage, but my trailer hitch was up into his radiator. He again yelled "Sorry" or words to that effect. As we proceeded up the on ramp, I took off and saw that as he was traveling up the ramp, steam started spewing out of the front of the Lincoln. Not sure how far he actually got, but I went on home with a big smile on my face.

This was back in late 1970's when Fords were built like a tank.
