I went to the office after hours to meet a customer who badly needed a tool. He and his friend opened the office door to leave and the crazy thud/smack happened. They backed up and closed the door and commented the lightning was close because they could feel their hairs standing up. We were talking about how close it was and then one of the guys asked me why my truck taillight was on. I grabbed my key fob and the truck, parked just feet from the door, was unresponsive. It only had power to the passenger side power seat and the passenger side taillight was stuck on. I would have normally been a lot more upset but the fact two customers could have been killed put it in perspective. I may get ef'd on this deal but I'm in a financial position to take my lumps if I'm forced to. There would have been a time in my life when something like this could have been financially devastating. I'm already Raptor shopping to make myself feel better, LOL.
