That's about all I can say about that.

It's gonna take some real luck to make Houston now, not to mention other awesome opportunities I'm having to give up now.

I was stopped in a construction zone on I-10 and she just plowed into the back of me at highway speeds.

If her insurance company tries to pull anything at all, they're gonna be in a world of hurt. :mad:
 
Hopefully nobody was hurt!
That sucks about your truck, but some well spent insurance money could make your truck better in the long run
 
DUDE, THAT SUCKS!
Sorry to hear about that Danny, You okay?
 
Sorry to hear bout this. Thankfully this is one where you didnt get hurt!

Believe it or not, I feel fine. Not sure how consideing how hard she hit me; only thing I can think of is that I sit real close to the steering wheel for my size so my back is always sort of pressed up against the seat.

Not sure how the girl that hit me's doing. They took her away in an ambulance, but she was talking and moving around and all before that. Don't know if she was faking or something or not; can't really tell these days. I'm pretty sure it knocked her out at first though. I thought she was trying to leave the scene at first and got out the truck to run after her :p , but she was just free-wheeling and rode into the median. Like I said, when I chacked on her she seemed fine other than being a little hysterical.

I think she thought I was just someone trying to help at first 'cause she said, "that guy just slammed on his brakes!":bs: I said, "No, the traffic was stopped." She didn't say anything after that. Trooper gave her careless operation.
 
Is the damage to your truck just sheet metal, plastic, etc. or are there some frame issues?
 
Man that stinks... I hope all works out for you...Gaud I bet it messed her Car up..
 
There seems to be a slight bend in the frame on the driver's side that's well behind the rear axle. It still drives straight. You can kind of see it in the pics.
 
Man that Frame is messed up. I don't know if it can be pulled out?? the way that the hitch rolled under like it did would have required a hard hit.. what kinda car was she driving?
 
Hopefully everyone involved is ok. I'm sorry that happened to your truck! I love that truck!

Yeah, well her insurance company's gonna have a big problem if they try and total it because I have every reciept for every single thing on that truck.

She was driving an Explorer; I was stopped and she hit me basically at highway speed. It was a huge impact; she's lucky she had an airbag in that thing.
 
I bet that's one chick who will pay more attention to the road from now on....once she gets out of the hospital :(

I'm glad no one was kilt or maimed, and I'm really sorry about your truck, hope you get a painless settlement from the insurance company.
 
To bad you are not closer I could fix that frame for you so you can make Houston:woohoo: :woohoo:
 
Houston is the least of his worries..he had something special in the works in the next week or so.
I hate to hear it Danny...I know you were looking forward to the other deal.
What was that ? Less than 300 miles on the new trans ?
 
From y'all to home. Then made three passes at the track to see if everything was working properly. Got wacked that night.:eek:wned:
 
Keep us updated on what happens, I really like the way your truck is setup, even if it is a Ford :poke: LOL LOL
 
Bummer! I'd just assume she was so mesmerized by your truck that she didn't realize it was approaching it so rapidly. It sounds good at least, huh? If I remember right, you were out at TruckFest in CO in July and I almost just walked into your truck looking at it...
Good luck with repairs
