Thank god its only cosmetic damnage...
But this ONCE again proves as to why i like OLD trucks and cars.
Only other accident i've been is in my 1982 celica. Trukie just needs a new bed or to have the area cut out and replaced with new sheet metal. There was rust in the spot n e ways which is why I think that part of the bed collapsed.
Oh and if your wondering... Im OK had to take the day off from work...Cause heres the funny part I was on my way already to the chiropracter to get my back fixed from falling outta the bed of my dads truck this weekend.
:: sigh ::
I dont think its been my week if you ask me

Accidents are never fun. Happy to say I havent been in one since about 1998. Though if someone wants to total my explorer for me, I wouldnt object.

Atleast you are ok. Atleast it was not the focus or a brand new car and instead an old truck. You want to be carefull with Chevy's, if they get hit on the sides where the fuel tanks are they have been known to catch on fire and blow up (your particular year of truck).
Oh, and if someone want to total Matt's explorer I wouldn't object to towing it to give me something to do! :D

by the way shawn, you realize your truck is real easy to spot in traffic (i.e lincoln and jordan)

Thank god its only cosmetic damnage.... Yeah, that cosmetic thing is pretty common with shivees.

Here's an idea for you: http://www.onzin.com/pics.php?cat=5&id=7438
It has been a strange week for me also. I've been giving a ride to a co-worker, I drive 50 miles/day right now. The idiot ratio per mile is even more noticeable with the increased travel.
I'm glad you are OK Bobbi.

OMG that pixs funny theres a guy in my neighborhood thats doing that to his truck I will see if I can get a pix of it its a f250 dog face black extended cab.
I have spent the better part of today hurting. Truth be told I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. My bf was overnighting me some that he found online and they literally showed up 2 hours two late. First thing I did after the wreck was take my truck to my grandfathers (you might remember him soundmaster) he has the zact same truck sept old blue is a short bed and 4x4 he was able to help me fix SOMETHINGS on the truck and point out what else I need to work on.
I installed my new seat belts today. I'm just annoyed. Apparently the guy was caught who ran the red light there were enough witnesses. My friend being the awesome chick she is and a daughter of a judge got the traffic cam pulled. Its pointless to make the guy pay for damn age. The truck was already a beater and all my medical (i went to the docs and chiropractor on Monday) is covered. Im just glad he was caught. Better my truck then a kid on a bike.
