Now drive over one with a Chevy Pickup, the Jpole survived that

Well, I just did that with a GMC pickup (hope that counts).
Nothing broke. I just straightened out the wires and it
still works just fine. If, Heaven forbid, a wire broke, it
would only take a butt connector and 20 seconds to repair it.
