I just wanted to post this pic of my truck, that I had for a total of 14 days and took me a good 2 weeks to find. This is just a reminder to be careful out there and always pay attention to others. I was approaching a intersection, on a green light and noticed a older lady NOT paying attention to me. About 100 ft in, I knew she wasn't going to stop. I tried to swerve to my right, as she was turning left into a parking lot, and the unthinkable happened...she T-boned me while I was cursing at about 35ish mph. She spun me around and I slammed into a steel lighting pole. Crazy ride. Neither one of us was injured, thank god, but it just raised my intuition about being more careful out there. Now I have to go through the whole insurance process and get something else... I really loved that truck.... I finally pulled the trigger fellas. I got a new huntin' rig! Just got it in today! I found this little Taomca online a couple of weeks ago and just couldn't pass it up. 1999, 4WD, Auto. Nothin' fancy, no bells or whistles just a truck.
WOW, glad neither one of you got hurt. I feel your pain brother. I had someone hit my truck about 3 weeks ago. They didn't leave a note or anything. I thought it was going to be a battle with my insurance company to get it fixed but surprisingly they took great care of me. Hopefully your insurance (or hers) will take good care of you too Here's my truck: $2000 worth of damage Like I said, I feel your pain (but yours is a LOT worse)
That SUCKS. The only vehicle I have ever purchased is my current truck that is going on 10 years old. I bought on my birthday, December 12th as a present to myself. Within 1 week someone dented the heck out of my truck as I was inside the mall doing some holiday shopping. I wanted to KILL.
I need to post up the pics of my '05 Ranger Edge... chick in a yukon ran a stop sign and t-boned me (I was doing 35 or so) and my truck rolled over onto the driver side door... was not awesome. It was less than two years old... broke my heart as I loved that truck.
I just wanted to update this thread and have a moment of silence for the departed huntin' rig. I now have a 99' 4WD Toyota Tacoma coming in 2 days. I've been without wheels for 2 months now so I'm lookin' forward to gettin' it!
man hang in there! glad you are ok! retired statie buddy of mine sent me this... i cringe every time i come up to a green light!!!!!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=-qvXbIenivk
Glad to hear your ok. I think you'll like to Tacoma. Hope she can last you more then a couple weeks. Watch out for those women drivers.
I was in a similar accident on a rainy Christmas Eve a few years back. My wife was riding and caught glass in the eye after the T-Bone on my side spun us into a pole on her side. Glad you are Ok. Glad I wasn't on the motor cycle.
Heres some pics of my daughters car after a drunk, who didn't have a license, and no insurance and not his van, ran a red light and just about t-boned my daughter !! She wanted to put a lawsuit lein against the guy, but we found out we would have been about 20th in line behind all the other previous people and insurance companies, so she just settled after the insurance totaled her car and paid for all her medical expenses.
Car Unreal dude, that's unfortunate. Hope she wasn't injured to bad. The car can be replaced and good thing you got your money from the wreck. It's sad you had to pay for the med-bills. What a smuck that guy is.
New huntin' rig I finally pulled the trigger fellas. I got a new huntin' rig! Just got it in today! I found this little Taomca online a couple of weeks ago and just couldn't pass it up. 1999, 4WD, Auto. Nothin' fancy, no bells or whistles just a truck.
