Lack of damage on the pick-up leads Thais to believe it must be "1809" for the lottery!

 

 

An accident between a Ford raptor pick-up and a Nissan Almera has led many Thais to believe they have the winning number in the next lottery draw.

 

People couldn't believe that the pick-up was damaged so little after it was rear ended by the smaller vehicle.

 

Pictures showed the Ford - license plate 1809 - with barely a scratch while the Nissan - plate number 7235 - was in a bad way.

 

Sanook said netizens were busy buying up the auspicious numbers for the next draw in the national lottery.

 

Though they did mention that at one million baht compared to the 500,000 cost of the Nissan, the Ford may be a stronger vehicle.

 

The accident happened in Kanchanaburi in Thailand's west.

Any ghosts or spirits involved ?

sometimes what the people around me here think scares me

[CelticBhoy]

I don't see anything lucky about having a blue Ranger  . . . . .  ☘️

[thaiguzzi]

SOP for a small family car rear ending a pick up with a bumper. Any pick up.

Same outcome in 99 out of 100 rear end accidents.

Winning the big jackpot in Thailand is a risky business, sure, go on and win the lottery only for half a dozen cheaters and scammers  including high ranking police trying to muscle in on the prize and if you're unlucky enough, you'll shot dead in the process...

Maybe Ford builds a more robust vehicle, sirh far better impact resistance? What the hell has the lottery have to do with an accident? Some people are plain stupid.

Hope my Mrs has not seen this.

[MichaelJohn]

I wonder what damage under the pickup?

A strong possibility there was a frog in the back of the pickup. Someone we all know often uses the frog's magic powers.

Better Title, 

"Gullible idiots who are  looking for an eternal way out seek good  luck in any ole crap".

Anything but  look at the science  behind why.

Saw the same with a Honda City and a Mitsu Pickup. I think it's got something to do with the chassis on the pickups.

 

Eat your heart out pickup haters.

In the past I've heard of a spirit called Johnnie being in the mix somewhere. ?

1809 was a bad year for the French at Corunna.

[Jonmarleesco]

As superstitions go, 1809 would be an acceptable year. Unlike 2018.

She will want a raptor at 1.6M? lol I will show my wife tomorrow - she can pay for it 55

[Lokie]

So the rear bumper (fender) of the pick up has crushed the bonnet (hood) back and broken the plastic valance of a little biddy town car? big deal no damage as biddy car rode under tail of pick up.

 

Later pick of German bike v China car, plastic wing on a wheel, wheel edge will win - no news item

[hotchilli]

No, it's just an example of Ford making a real vehicle while Nissan make a tin can !!

Also headlights, wings, indicators, radiator, front pannel and probably some engine ancilliarys damage! ?

Same thing happened to me when a taxi ran into the back of my Toyota Tiger. I had a dint in my rear bumper and the Vios had a smashed front end with a punctured radiator.

• That's a plastic bumper cover, designed to deform at low speeds for pedestrian protection.
• The car is a Daewoo Kalos / Chevrolet Aveo, made in South Korea, not China.
• The bike is a Chinese bike, made in China.
• Perpetuating boring stereotypes is so much fun though, whoop de doo.
• And yes, I am fun at parties.

In UK a tin can will corrode at a slower rate.
