It's an old joke.
-HOWEVER-
I think what the OP means is he was rear-ended by a Toyota Tacoma(Taco for short).
Most likely the towbar took the brunt of it.
EDIT: OP just posted a picture of his Maverick and his finger.
Damage looks very slight.

So it wasn't the torrential rain as alluded to in the title of this post.
It was that you did something foolish and drove through deep water.
Do it again and it'll happen again.
Deep water does that.
Experience is a teacher.

Well. That's a much less painful way to tell when your engine is warm than grabbing an exhaust pipe.
Unless your engine compartment is prone to burst into flame...
