Glad the other guy is okay too.
Damn, that just sucks. Especially not having a camera. Can you borrow one and go down to whatever shop has it? Don't forget the lil' car. [:D] |

As a teenager, one of my buddies rolled the small truck he was driving (agressive teen driver syndrome).
Somewhat later, I hitched a ride home with him. He was now so traumatized that he wouldn't even start the car till all the windows were rolled up and my seatbelt was buckled.[BD] Aparently, when he had rolled his truck, his window was down, and his left arm was flailing around outside the truck (acquiring a patina of roadrash and crushing injuries) as he went over and over and over[:X*] ------ got a rollcage? |

We need you--glad you're okay. People think I'm just an a$$hole when I won't budge unless everyone is buckled in. I drive a Toy-let-oda 4X4 truck and they are known for rolling over--without blowing Firestones first. Stay out of the ditch!! Anyway, luck was with you. I'm glad.

thanx guys,I'll have to see if I can find the car and truck.
They did tell where it is yet. Erasmus, thats funny. I had my window down but had my hand on the wheel. I do need to see the hair club for men about the left side of my head LOL. PS:Did not have Firestones on the truck,I only use BF Goodrich. There was a truck full of junk ahead of me and something fell of in to the road,gess who hit it. They can't fine him now so my Ins. has to pay foe all of it ever if I did not get a ticket. That sucks. |

A2,
I'm glad to hear that you're OK. BTW, what model of truck was it? Were you just driving down the highway in a straight line? |

Rolled 5 times?
You should get an exo-cage for that thing. I hope to start caging my Toy next month. You've got me scared, because I'm driving around with a plug in my sidewall. |

Quoted: Glad you're still walkin and talkin! Were they Firestones? The EXACT same Firestones are used on the Ranger, but do you ever hear of them blowing out? Nope. That's because Ford recommended UNDERinflating the tires on the Exploder so it would pass Gov't rollover standards. Guess what, underinflated tires heat up quickly and fall apart over time. That story about Ford broke the news when the Firestone crap first started, then was quickly hushed. |

Almost 20 years ago my 16 year old brother rolled his new Toyota 4wd. No booze involved, but no seatbelt either. He was thrown out and killed. Passenger had his arm cought behind the seat which held him in. He walked away from it.
Coupla weeks ago I was at a redlight waiting to turn left. Oncoming Vette pulls a quick u-turn. The two lanes to my right had green lights. Small Ford Ranger, doing about 45 or so, never had a chance to hit the brakes. T-Boned him right in the passenger door. As a witness, I spoke with an insurance person about it just this morning. Sad story. The two guys in the Vette were brothers in town to see their dying mother, (she did). 50 year old male in passenger seat was DOA. Drive careful boys. It can be rough out there. |

A2Carbine, take some aspirin tonight. Car crash soreness takes a few hours to develop but can be fun the morning after. Good to hear nobody got seriously hurt.

When you get your truck back, or get a replacement, watch out for center of gravity with any mods. We need all of us to be safe, secure, and voting.

Thank you! 2K Chevy S-10(with a 4.3L,k&n,flowmasters,new heads and outlaw 8" lock up conv. I miss my truck[:(]) For once yes. A2 what were the circumstances ? I am wondering because I own a 1998 S-10 LS Extended Cab and I understood it didn't roll very easily. But I can tell you from experience that I am glad I have a Chevy Truck. I was coming home after finals last year and I ended up head-oning a light pole. I walked away though I hurt for a little while afterwords, but that went away. I was wearing my seatbelt. I had a College Calculus book (Thick-ass hard-bound) on the seat beside me and it was thrown into the dashboard and bent in half. In short it did 9K in damage. Just short of what was needed to declare it totalled. BTW, just a reminder DO NOT DRIVE AFTER STAYING UP FOR 3 STRAIGHT DAYS (80+ Hours) TO CRAM. That is what I did. I found out the hard way how long PEP Pills will last. I slept for something like 18 hours afterwards. |
