You ever have a What The Heck day?

[RockyMtnMT]

Day before yesterday I was driving down the hwy going 65 mph and some ding dong came flying out of the Napa parking lot, trying to shoot across four lanes of hwy, and hit me almost head on. Like that deer that blows across the road and you have zero time to react. So much for restoring my gen II. All I had left was the interior and and a full tear down of the engine to replace seals and anything else that made sense while there. I had replaced all the body parts, wrapped it, installed a full Carlie suspension with Thuren steering stabilizer, and steel front and rear bumpers. Along with other various things.

Looks like they went underneath you mostly. Sorry to hear they wrecked a great project truck but glad you're not hurt. That's the really scary aspect of people like that. More trucks out there but people are tough to replace and fix.

Geeeeeeez!!! That sucks! Looks like a nice 2nd Gen too!

Life can change in an instant. No matter how much we may think we got a handle on things, it can blow up in the blink of an eye. Very thankful you're ok.

It was almost done! I had that truck since 2004. Never even hit a deer with that truck. It just got rusty and needed replaced or restored. Couldn't justify a new truck so decided to make the old girl brand new.

God made a decision in that moment not to take me home. It could have been very different.

My truck has a 3" lift and I drove over the front of his car. If my truck was shorter I would have blew through his car.

He's made that decision with me many times in my life.

We must have not served our purpose yet.

Prius/smart car

These words should never occur in the same sentence.




To lighten the mood only.

If you have ever wondered if your mission here on earth is over, if you are still alive it isn't.

Glad you are safe and sound but what a shame on the truck. Don't make them like that anymore...literally!
