    Man my head hurts!

    So i was driving home last week and managed to total my mint condition 1996 chevy step side C-1500 with under 100,000 miles on it. I think I'm just about Done driving in the snow. Semi's this is for you, "SCCCCoooooooot over" when you pass someone in a smaller vehicle!!!!! I was more or less forced off the road and left for dead! I woke to 2 very nice ladies asking me if i was alright rather then a fat trucker that obviously didn't car or wasn't paying attention! I ended up tearing out about twenty foot of guard rail and luckily it was just a little hill to roll down! Not sure how many rolls or if it was even a full roll. Anyways, 13 staples in the side of my head later and a super sore body and I'm back at work. Thanks for the lite duty cause I'm still pretty darn dizzy! This is my first and last "hopefully" accident i get into! I still haven't got to see my truck but from what my dad says I'm pretty lucky for only some achie muscles and two handfulls of staples! I'm gonna try and make it to the junk yard and check it out tomorrow. Big thanks to my Cuz for driving me around and not speeding in the X-runner! lol I'll be back to normal in know time. Also Rod for being a nice enough guy for keepin a sale pending. this is gonna be my last purchase untill the hospital bills start rolling in and I see what i gotta pay out of my pocket after my insurance!

    That stinks! At least your alive. You can always get another truck, but you only got one life.

    If you read it, it says that a truck ran him off the road.

    Sucks to hear that. I got run off the road last year by a Suburban and ended up sticking my Mazda Protege in the ditch. Not nearly as bad as what happened to you, I just walked home, got my Dad's F-250 and a chain and pulled it right out.

    sorry the hear about that man.
    Had a little accident the other day sorta involving a semi.
    Driving down the highway at 75mph, semi has blowout, tire hits my car, tears up front bumper and rips the skidplate from under my vw new beetle.

    when you think about it. semi's have a lot of blowouts, there are pieces of truck tires laying everywhere, but hardly any car tires.

    Yah my bad on the section I put it in. I know better then that too. I was on interstate 94 going westbound around 45-50 mph in the slow lane when a semi got the nerve to try and pass me in the middle going around a right hand corner. Granted the speed limit is 70.. it was bad out and everyone was going slow except the stupid semi's!!!! Next time I think I'll just try to hit him rather then move over to avoid them!

    It's skill young grasshopper! Ok well, three days was still pretty darn good for keeping a thread open in the jato section that clearly has nothing to do with the jato!
